Susie Maddocks is a talented artist I discovered a couple of weeks ago. She just released her new single, “Shooting Star” and it shines with a soft beauty that is easy to connect with. The song is inspired by her one-year-old granddaughter and that personal story gives the track a sweet and honest core. As a father, I found myself replaying it over and over before deciding to write about it, because there is something very warm in the way it captures love, wonder, and the small bright moments that stay with us.
She keeps the song simple in a beautiful and gentle way and that is part of its charm. Her voice is pure, touching, and smooth, moving through the song with a delivery that never sounds forced. The chorus is simple and easy to remember while her lyrics carry a soft glow that makes the song stay in your head after it ends.
The production is solid and gives her vocals the right space. The light instrumentation, warm melodies, and small details all work together without taking attention away from the heart of the song. This song is catchy and full of happy color. It shows Susie Maddocks as an artist with a beautiful voice, a strong sense of melody and a sound worth coming back to again and again. Definitely worth watching closely!
