Rising indie-pop star Maddie Regent is ready to make a bold statement. As she prepares for the release of her highly anticipated debut album, On the Phone with My Mom, Regent shares the lead single, “The Wolf,” a song that blends raw vulnerability with an electrifying pop energy.
The track is co-written with her boyfriend and collaborator, Cade Hoppe, and produced alongside Harper James of Eighty Ninety. From the very first beat, “The Wolf” commands attention, drawing listeners into a world where anxiety and the complexities of estranged love take center stage. The song captures the tension of wanting to move on from a past relationship, yet still being haunted by its emotional residue. It’s a universal feeling—the struggle of wanting to be free while being tethered by memories and fear. Regent’s honest lyrics and the track’s euphoric production create a sound that is both electrifying and haunting, mirroring the emotional rollercoaster of her experiences.
As a Toronto native now based in New York City, Regent’s musical journey began at 12, using songwriting as a way to process her thoughts and feelings. This personal approach to music has resulted in a unique sound that combines introspective lyrics with infectious pop melodies. “The Wolf” is a testament to Regent’s growth as an artist, offering a sneak peek into the deeply personal themes that will define On the Phone with My Mom.
Building on the success of her previous EPs, MISS REGENT and Girl of Your Dreams, Regent continues to carve out her space in the indie-pop scene. With this new album, which promises to blend introspective lyricism with escapist pop, she’s poised for a breakout year. “The Wolf” is just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting journey ahead.
