Miss Madeline shares “Popstar” with Polo Perks, announces debut EP
“Popstar” is the second single from Picture This, which drops December 7.
Miss Madeline has released "Popstar," the second single from her just-announced debut EP, Picture This. The track features Surf Gang's Polo Perks and comes with a y2k-inspired music video.
"Popstar" is a turn-of-the-millennium bubblegum anthem updated to fit 2021's hyperpop ethos. Miss Madeline's cocky chorus — "I'll be your sweetheart, pop star / Got you so hard, seein' stars" — is backed up by a deranged love verse from the punk goes drill rapper — "She wanna see crazy, give her babies off beginner's luck." Polo's syruppy drawl expertly complements Madeline's auto-tuned warbling.
In the video, they split time between Madeline's poster-strewn bedroom and the Bushwick intersection of Flushing Avenue and Broadway, where they dance below the elevated train tracks with a permanently closed Modell's Sporting Goods in the background before riding away in a pink stretch Hummer.
