Situationships

Maddy Hicks released Situationships in March of 2023 with Overall Recordings.

Maddy created this 10 track project throughout 2022 and 2023. She collaborated with talented writers and producers, including Daniel Weber, Garrett Nash, Alex Saad, Gabe Simon, JT Foley, Max Hershenow, Paige Blue, Andrew Tufano, Jack Newsome, Carrie K, and Eric Arjes. All tracks were mastered by Théo Quayle, much of the project was mixed by Pedro Calloni, and additional engineering was provided by Jeff Toth of Roxwood Music.

“Everyone I know has experienced a situationship. That delicate, undefined status that’s on the verge of being the real thing… but it’s only temporary. I found myself writing an entire project around this cultural phenomenon - it’s beautiful, traumatic, casual, frustrating. It’s being in your twenties, it’s commiserating with your friends about what you’ve been settling for, it’s waiting embarrassingly long for someone to make up their mind. It’s craving monogamy, craving a sense of home. It’s knowing in your gut that it probably won’t work out. So why do we keep coming back to it? How do we hold onto the hope that this time, surely, it’ll last?”
