Maybe life on Earth, with all its miniature, momentary deaths and rebirths, really does have something to do with our zodiac signs. Singer-songwriter Madison McFerrin thinks so. Her sophomore album, SCORPIO, takes its name from her sign and its three phases (scorpion, eagle, and phoenix) which parallel her personal evolution since her 2023 debut, I Hope You can Forgive Me. 

For Madison, love—specifically self-love—is a revealer of truths. It’s this album’s inspiration: “I truly believe that I went through it because I’ve created art that’s going to change my life.” SCORPIO is what it sounds like when the stars align.

He finds the through line between sounds from different eras, different cultures, and different corners of the world, and makes it all make sense.
