Traumas and triumphs take centre-stage in American singer, songwriter and producer Madison McFerrin’s debut album, I Hope You Can Forgive Me, which was released last Friday.
The 10-track 26-minute album features her newest single (Please Don’t) Leave Me Now, which was released alongside a new music video directed by Kemp Baldwin.
The three-minute song was inspired after a car accident she endured in 2021 with her partner.
“Being able to walk away from a near-death experience without physical harm is one of the greatest blessings I’ve received in this life,” the musician said in a statement.
“It reaffirmed my purpose as an artist. Writing (Please Don’t) Leave Me Now became an incredibly therapeutic and cathartic experience. Being able to express that kind of fear while still creating a fun environment was key to making this song.”
With a few contributions from her father Bobby McFerrin, Madison produced most of this album on her own and has embarked on a five-month tour to promote the project.
