This time around:. Madeline Merlo "Whatcha Gonna Do About It". This song has had my interest for the past couple of weeks. Not only because she's a stunner! She can sing!! Madeline has been working very hard for years at this craft. I'm betting she would say she's worked her entire life or a good portion of it.
Dan Swinimer (ManicDown) has been a huge part of her launch into Canadian Country Super stardom! Madeline's from BC (my homeland, another easy factor in deciding who to blog about!!) With Dan's help, she plugged away and then landed the opening spot on Dean Brody and Paul Brandt's massive tour last year. In my honest opinion, she's a very close vocal comparison to a young Martina McBride, and that's saying alot. "Whatcha Wanna Do About it" has impact right from the start.
She hits the opening with anticipation, and energy! Although, it's a song about finding possibilities in a stranger, there's something different about this song. This is a girl who doesn't want to waste time. She knows a connection when she feels one. Yes, there are plenty of country songs about one night stands, and hook ups, and text-style breakups, but this song - it has power. It screams, 'Just get to the point'!
Madeline is definitely playing the 'good girl' in the song. She has all the ideas, but she wants him to do all the work. Thus, 'Whatcha Gonna Do About it'. Something about that scenario is very hot. Beyond that, the fact she reminds me so much of a young Martina McBride (vocally), puts this song in the same breath as anything Jess Moskaluke, Kira Isabella, Brandy Clark, or Kelsea Ballerini is doing. I'm thinking the future is bright for this young superstar from BC. We will see some big things from Madeline Merlo down the road. For now, here's the video for 'Whatcha Wanna Do About It'......oh, and guys - you're welcome. It's pretty awesome:
