“SHIVERSUCKER” BY MADGE IS HYPERPOP PERFECTION

Whether they’re writing for themselves or Taco Bell commercials, Madge makes music for the open-minded. Their sound is reminiscent of scene queens of MySpace past, nodding to the likes of Millionaires, Ayesha Erotica, and a light sprinkle of 100 Gecs while giving room for the genre to adapt to modernity. “Shiversucker”, which features Suzi Wu, is a straight-up banger, keeping any listener moving for about two consecutive minutes.

This multi-hyphenated legend is a magician with electronic sounds and an incredible lyricist. The wordplay in “Shiversucker” is contagious, giving listeners a game of iSpy to play with each cheeky reference.

Hyperpop has changed shape many times, but songs like “Shiversucker” leave reviewers like me optimistic about its future. There is much to be offered within the space, and Madge seems to have the drive to explore.

Short and sweet, “Shiversucker” is a high-energy song with a robust mix, indicating a passionate artist here to have fun and make art.
