Madi Diaz Presents “Crying In Public (MUNA Remix)”

Nashville-based songwriter Madi Diaz released History Of A Feeling this past August via ANTI-. The record continues to resonate deeply amongst critics and fans, including the Los Angeles trio MUNA who have now remixed Madi’s song “Crying In Public.”  The “Crying In Public (MUNA Remix)” translates Diaz’s unabated emotion onto the dancefloor while keeping her intimacy at the remix’s core.  

“There’s something so ultimate and forgivable about crying in front of strangers that you will never see again. Just letting it fly in the dairy aisle while you’re checking your carton of eggs for cracked ones, letting out a good loud sob in the security line at an airport, screaming in your car at the top of your lungs parked in front of your house, just letting the full heat of violent emotion take the wheel and you’re just riding shotgun,” says Diaz. “I could not think of a single band better equipped to take ‘Crying In Public’ to the dance floor. MUNA does introspective expression on a whole different level, so it’s a true honor that they took my song and sent it soaring into this expansive emo alternate universe. It’s like I’m crying disco ball tears at the club with everyone I’ve ever loved.”  

MUNA’s Naomi McPherson adds: “It’s always a lot of fun to be able to take a track like Madi’s that’s a relatively simple arrangement and flip it. The possibilities for a sonic scene change going in are kind of endless. I’m grateful to the very brilliant madi for letting me do my thing right quick and even more grateful that she’s happy with it.”

History Of A Feeling undeniably marks Diaz’s status as a first-rate songwriter, a craft she’s spent years refining. Across the album, she cycles through the full spectrum of emotions of coming to terms with the dissolution of a meaningful relationship. She plays the line between the personal and the general with dexterity: in Diaz’s hands, quiet moments of self-pity are transformed into grand meditations on heartbreak, and unwieldy knots of big existential feelings are smoothed out with a sense of clear-eyed precision.  

Later this month, Madi will join CAAMP on tour, including sold-out stops in Philadelphia, DC, Boston, and more. Today, Madi announces she’ll support Waxahatchee on a North American tour in 2022. Tickets for newly-announced shows are on sale this Friday at 10am local time
