LISTEN: Madame So – ‘Who Are We To Judge?’

Experimenting with shoegaze elements and exploring her wonderful vocal range, Madame So has shared her latest single ‘Who Are We To Judge?’. Following on from previous releases ‘Generation Y’ and ‘You Say’, this new offering sees the Paris-born, London-based songwriter re-tracing memories of her hedonistic youth, whilst also encouraging listeners to show compassion to the youth of today.

Through the gently repeated lyric “Who are we to judge?” and her hazy guitar sounds, Madame So allows space for reflection and acceptance. “Who are we to judge what they say? / There isn’t just one way,” she reiterates, urging listeners to remember their own adolescent lives and to stretch their understanding of what it means to be young now. The single is accompanied by a colourful lyric video centred around an illustration of Madame So by Brazilian artist, Jesso Alves.

Watch the video for the track below and follow Madame So on Facebook & bandcamp for more updates.
