Maddie Ashman’s debut single “Toffee” showcases her bold sonic direction and artistic voice.

With the release of “Toffee,” British avant-pop artist Maddie Ashman unveils her distinctive voice in the music world. Released via AWAL, the track is a self-produced blend of experimental sounds and emotional depth.

Mellotrons, glitched cello, and crashing percussion converge in “Toffee,” while Maddie’s falsetto creates a ghostly contrast. The single is a vulnerable reflection of what it means to feel after emotional suppression.

Ashman explains:
“I wanted to capture what it’s like to feel again and embrace emotions after a long time of suppressing them. The chord sequence was deliberately constructed to create a feeling of being constantly pulled in both directions – almost relentlessly ungrounded, yet also as if nothing is wrong. It’s totally exciting, confusing, empowering and overwhelming.”

Already viral for her microtonal videos, Maddie has attracted a large following and support from artists like Anthony Fantano and Caroline Polachek. With over 100K Instagram followers and rising momentum, her reach continues to expand.

After performing at The Great Escape and selling out her London headline show, Ashman joins Sungazer for a UK tour and several festival dates this season.
