Sydney's music scene has a new star, and her name is RAGEFLOWER. The indie artist, also known as Madeleine Powers, has unleashed her debut EP, 'Infinite Highs, End of Times', and it's a visceral, no-holds-barred exploration of what it means to be human. Clocking in at seven tracks, the project is a powerful statement from an artist who refuses to be constrained by genre, seamlessly blending raw emotion with a fierce, unapologetic sound.
From the moment the EP begins with the heartfelt 'Angel Things', it's clear we're in for a journey. The track eases us in before the EP takes a sharp turn into the electrifying 'Hands On', a track brimming with raw, unbridled lust. But it’s not all soaring highs; RAGEFLOWER isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty with the messy realities of heartbreak. This is perfectly encapsulated in the fiery anthem 'Kerosene', where Powers’ vocals simmer with a volatile mix of pain and fury. The EP isn't just a collection of songs; it’s a series of journal entries laid bare for the world to see. As Madeleine herself says, "The EP as a whole is about the transformative quality of suffering... the individual songs are journal entries from my highs and lows."
This confessional approach makes the music feel deeply personal, and it's this vulnerability that makes 'Infinite Highs, End of Times' so compelling. The EP’s climax, 'Desk Job', is a masterclass in controlled chaos, perfectly capturing the clash of rage and fragility that defines RAGEFLOWER’s sound. It's a chaotic and emotional whirlwind that leaves a lasting impression, proving that Powers is a force to be reckoned with.
Beyond the music, RAGEFLOWER has created a rich world of striking visuals to accompany her debut, adding another layer to the experience. It’s clear that every aspect of this project has been meticulously crafted to draw listeners in.
With a launch show at Buddy’s Bar in Sydney and a spot at BIGSOUND 2025, RAGEFLOWER is poised to become one of Australia's most compelling new voices. 'Infinite Highs, End of Times' is more than just a debut; it's a cathartic revelation from an artist with a bright and fiery future ahead.
