Madeline Consoer – “How Do I Not”

As the follow-up to “Wish It Away”, pop newcomer (and former The Voice participant) Madeline Consoer has shared a new single, “How Do I Not”. It’s a pensive yet exquisite piece that highlights the singer’s sublime vocals. Madeline’s lyrics are utterly harrowing. “I wrote this song when I was going through probably the hardest breakup of my life. No matter what I did, or immersed myself in. I couldn’t stop thinking about him, or what he was doing, or what we could have been. ‘How Do I Not’ is about absolutely not being able to let go of someone, no matter how hard you try. Everything reminds you of them, so how can you NOT think of them,” she explains. Madeline is surely one to watch.
