Bill Gates I can't tell you how much I love this set of songs. Complex harmonies of the sweetest female vocals with beats like The Weeknd. Looking forward to more! Favorite track: Sweet Goodbyes.
Queen Elizabeth

Queen Elizabeth Chill, dark but still uplifting. Minor fades to major, blood to healing, and hurt blossoms into love. Brilliant lyrics with continuous vibe, song to song. I'd like to compare it to Imogen Heap, but it is darker. All, apparently performed and produced by a 19 year girl. You go madelyniris! Favorite track: Once.

Once 02:48
the sun sets fading your chest beating darkly to your thoughts and the voices in your head speak softly to your heart
2.
you never imagined you'd be here walking away with all of your fears the future doesn't scare me what scares me is how life seems to slip by and I can't help but think that we're limited by time and so I paint the picture so I sing the song so I touch the space in time that shapes what I'll become

Sunburn 04:00
I've danced in the dark I've felt the creeping night What lingers in my heart is the silent coming light I've touched the lost and hurt I've held their hands in mine what matters not is lost and what's lost is not our light tell my skin it must come home tell my lungs to get some soul tell the sun that it is whole tell the night to take control and you told me I'd never be the same watching you feel me with your eyes and you told me I'd never sing the same after singing with you one night and the way that you kissed me and the way that you told me goodbye if you think you can get away get away with this for one night tell my skin it must come home tell my lungs to get some soul tell the sun that it is whole tell the night to take control tell the stars they are my friends connecting nerves within my head tell me I must not pretend because the night is not the end [repeat]

Simplicity 03:42
I've never been so ready to let go, to let go of every little thing of everything my eyes have changed shades of emerald and my tongue has twisted upside down and my face has folded in the strangest places and my ears attuned to a different sound my throat is sweeter my hands are stronger my heart is bigger my embrace is tighter and my feet are quicker and my mind is ready to let go tonight [repeat] my point here is i'm growing old thank you for your time but i'm simply tired and i'm growing old and i'm simply tired and i'm simply old
6.
Siren 04:26
your beautiful veins draw constellations underneath your skin I feel them every time you breathe in my arms wrapped around your lungs, the temptation of suffocating you with sin I want you to breathe in asphyxiation take a drink of this taste the hint of rose feel the warmth of my skin pull me in too close just breathe in the smoke let it fill your lungs feel the swinging notes dance along your tongue tempt me with your twisting tongue draw me in close with your smirk use my heart while it's still young and love me till it hurts [repeat] this darkness suits me well this secret all too fond of me my blood rises and swells to the rhythm of the sea let the bass consume all that you have been let its heart kill you graze along your skin feel the bite of teeth taste the hint of blood all that you have been is all Ive become tempt me with your twisting tongue draw me in close with your smirk use my heart while it's still young and love me till it hurts
7.
I took away your heartbeat you took away my eyes I stole your only love song you stole my only disguise I hated every second your dead skin kissed the ground I tried to kiss your sparkling lips but only ashes were to be found and I was set on fire the night your hands came back to life my hunger satisfied the morning set into our sheets the yellows and reds bleed into our sweet goodbyes I set foot in tomorrow you stepped back yesterday I held on to every word hoping that you might stay time was a hyperbole we had no time to spend our clocks decaying reluctantly young life growing thin and I was set on fire the night your hands came back to life my hunger satisfied the morning set into our sheets the yellows and reds bleed into our sweet goodbyes
8.
The Morning 02:26
morning comes through the blinds I'm not out of my mind thoughts that peek through my eyes dreams of living my life sublime take me in hear me out you are one thing i can't live without you are mine you are mine you are mine you are mine

about

In 2012, madelyniris began recording covers to some of her favorite songs.

Although she rooted herself in indie-folk music, madelyniris was quick to stray away. It was early 2012 that madelyniris began being influenced by artists such as Frank Ocean, Childish Gambino, A$ap Rocky, Chance the Rapper, and The Weeknd. However she has never been limited to these artists; madelyniris also finds inspiration in bands such as Clams Casino, La Dispute, Coldplay, This Will Destroy You, Imogen Heap, I See Stars, and invisible U2.

With her (obvious) eclectic influences, madelyniris is a student at the University of Missouri- Columbia studying vocal performance. Her classical training brings in influences from the greats such as Tchaikovsky and Schutz, as well as the modern Eric Whitacre.

In early 2013 she announced she was working on her first project, scheduled to release in June. Her first album "LAYLAH" was born June 14, 2013, and is continuing to grow and reach new corners of the world that madelyniris could only dream of reaching. As it continues to grow, madelyniris is already back writing, hoping to release her first full-length sometime in 2014.
