Kentish Town-born torch singer and Soho storyteller Madeleine Rose Witney returns with the release of her swaggering new single ‘Struttin’, the next glimpse into her debut EP From Now On, set for release November 13 on 5dB Records (anaiis, Ashaine White, Mackwood).
Written as a tongue-in-cheek tribute to her former flatmate Strutter, a mod in his sixties who lives on “a diet of Jack Daniels and burned sausages”, ‘Struttin’ captures Witney at her most playful and charismatic. Behind the track’s funk-driven groove lies a loving roast of manhood, modern masculinity, and the curious characters that fill London’s fading underground.
“It’s a show-stopping moment for a very individual character,” Madeleine shares. “He’s lived the same for 30 years, untouched by time, leaving toast crumbs in his wake. The track’s a bit of a jibe, but full of affection.”
