Zoey Madison Lights Up Her Debut EP "Electric" with Heart and Honesty

It’s hard to believe that Electric is the debut EP from 17-year old New York based singer songwriter Zoey Madison. The four track release feels confident, polished and emotionally grounded and it's the kind of project that makes you sit up and think, she’s going somewhere.

The opening track, “Electric,” lives up to its name. It’s a bright, shimmering pop song about the heady rush of new love and the instinct to hold onto it for as long as you can.

Co-written with hit songwriter Aimée Proal and produced by Matt Chiaravalle, the track blends a slick, modern sound with timeless romanticism.

“We can’t let it go,” Zoey sings, her voice carrying that perfect mix of innocence and longing. There’s even a soft nod to Romeo and Juliet, a reminder that love’s intensity has always danced between beauty and fragility.

The tone shifts beautifully with “Scars,” a piano driven ballad that shows Zoey’s emotional depth. She opens with a simple plea — “Be gentle, I bruise easily” , and by the final chorus, she’s soaring. The track builds from quiet introspection to cinematic grandeur, capped off by a jaw-dropping whistle note that gives chills. When she sings “A broken heart is beautiful,” it doesn’t sound like a lyric written for effect; it sounds lived in and real.

“Move” takes a lighter turn, leaning into a romantic groove that feels effortlessly breezy. With warm guitar licks and smooth R&B inspired harmonies, it captures the easy joy of falling in love.

“It’s uplifting and motivates the listener to move and take action in their life,” Zoey explains. “That’s what happiness can do.” It’s hard not to smile when she sings, “I’m no longer seeing in blue, I’ve got technicolor dreams coming true.” The optimism feels contagious.

The closing track, “Lullabies,” is perhaps the most intimate moment on the EP. It’s a delicate reflection on love that’s already slipped away, layered with harmonies that swell like waves and fade into silence.

What makes Electric such a strong debut isn’t just Zoey’s range, although her four octave voice is stunning, it’s her sincerity. Each track is unfiltered and intentional, written and sung by someone who isn’t afraid to be open. It's certainly an introduction that is the promise of even brighter things ahead.
