Nashville-based singer-songwriter Madison Steinbruck returns with her latest single, ‘Bad News,’ today. The track, a third single off of Madison’s upcoming debut LP Australia’s Lonelier, discusses the disappointing realization that an ill-fated relationship has to come to an end.

“This song is about the moment you realize you can still love someone while recognizing you can no longer be with them,” Madison shares. Her mesmerizing vocals swirl around a melancholy beat, classic cutting pedal steel melding with cello and electric guitar. “Sometimes I still think it’s sad/ that I could still love you/ But I don’t want you back,” she laments.

Australia’s Lonelier was recorded at East Nashville’s Bomb Shelter. ‘Bad News’ was penned abroad, and encompasses that period of forced self-reflection beautifully. Madison confesses in the second verse, “Oh I’m coming home/ I’ve been gone too long/ And everyone’s tired of talking to me on the phone.”
