Even though 17-year-old singer Madelyn Rose was born and raised in central New York State, she's always been a country girl at heart. Her upbringing wasn't that far off from her southern music inspirations, Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert; she was still surrounded by fields, horses, and families with farmer backgrounds spanning back generations. Her small town living in the vast pocket of land between Rochester and Syracuse, along with her childhood idolization of the musical TV drama "Nashville," was enough to make her fall in love with the lifestyle — and her fair share of blue-collar boys as well. 

Rose's newest single, "Save It," is the first track off her upcoming self-titled EP—a follow-up to her official debut as an artist in 2023, "Teenage Heartache." While the songs from her first release tackle themes of doomed relationships, breakups, and moving on from a melancholic, adolescent lens, Rose is ready to shift to a more positive outlook in her writing. 

"I kind of switched to my perspective on life," she said. "I just got out of that heartache and depressive state. I stopped thinking about all the heartbreak and started thinking about what I wanted in life. That also has to do with the kind of guy that you're dating."
