Madeline Rosene is an indie-pop singer-songwriter based in Los Angeles who paints songs at the border of cinematic sounds and piercing and acute observations. So far coupled with her albums such as Raised on Porn and Everyday Existential Crisis, she has already become a commentator on the contemporary state of being, not scared to address the issues of alienation and identity through the prism of poetic lack of meaning. Comparable to such icons as Fiona Apple and St. Vincent, the work of Rosene has been described as having a gut-punching sense of honesty that juxtaposes lighthearted tunes with heavy emotional facts.

This time around in her most recent single, Love and Algorhythms, Madeline Rosene shifts her internal gaze in the strange closeness we have with our machines. Released by Patrick Windsor, the song is based on a combination of soft acoustic guitar and glitchy 8-bit textures to replicate the same technology with which it criticizes itself. It is a song that embodies the particular panic of the understanding that a piece of data could be better informed of what your partner wanted than you are, which shows the increasing tension between human instinct and artificial intelligence.
