Nessa Barrett takes control of her narrative with single “madhouse”. It’s the latest autobiographical tale from the rising singer / songwriter’s debut album Young Forever,. The announcement of Nessa’s album comes after June’s galvanizing “Die First,” an emotional anthem about the fear associated with losing loved ones and released in honour of her best friend, Cooper Noriega. Both songs were co-written and produced with frequent collaborator Evan Blair, who also executive produced Barrett’s 2021 debut EP pretty poison.

From 2021’s pop-punk, Gold-certified smash “la di die” to this year’s “dying on the inside,” which was released in the hope of raising awareness about eating disorders, Barrett has only become more dedicated to using her platform as a source of healing. That’s evident with every passing track, including “madhouse,” and it’s something she’s clearly intent on continuing to explore on young forever, as she continues to craft a lasting legacy.
