A Spark Of Pop Magic From A Rising Teen Talent

Electric
Zoey Madison
Zoey Madison doesn’t tiptoe onto the scene with her debut EP. She confidently strides in with a bright, unselfconscious confidence that is rare in today’s heavily manufactured pop landscape.
Electric is a four song introduction not just to her voice (though her four-octave range is undeniably the headline) but to her point of view - warm and refreshingly sincere.
At just 17, Zoey is still technically at the beginning of everything.
But judging from this EP, she already knows exactly what she wants her music to feel like. These songs shimmer with that unmistakable mix of teenage intensity and emerging artistic clarity.
The EP opens with “Electric,” a track that practically glows from the first beat. Co-written with hitmaker Aimée Proal and produced by veteran Matt Chiaravalle, the title track captures the eyes-wide-open rush of new love.
Then comes “Scars,” the emotional anchor of the EP. The opening line — “Be gentle, I bruise easily” — is a quiet confession.
Zoey’s vocal control is staggering here: tender at first, then rising into a soaring release that ends in a whistle tone most singers wouldn’t dare attempt.
But what makes “Scars” stand out is how it finds beauty in vulnerability. When she sings “A broken heart is beautiful,” it is deliberate.
“Move” shifts the energy into something lighter, breezier and quietly radiant. The chill R&B groove, the playful guitar lines and the lush harmonies - all the sound of young love without the drama. Zoey describes the song as uplifting, a spark meant to push listeners toward their own happiness, and it shows.
Finally, “Lullabies” closes the EP with softness. It’s a song about holding onto a love that’s already gone. The layered harmonies swell and Zoey she lets the ache stay gentle, which somehow makes it more affecting.
Zoey Madison may be at the very start of her career, but Electric makes one thing obvious: she’s not just experimenting — she has arrived as a highly talented artist and rising star.
