Canadian singer/songwriter Maddisun marks the October release of her new video “Big Star” with a warm, vintage edge that mirrors the spirit of her latest album, The Pages.
Co-written by Maddisun and produced by Jim Bryson, “Big Star” stands as a key moment on The Pages — her third full-length record, released digitally on October 2 following a July physical drop across vinyl, CD, and cassette. The rollout included a sold-out release show at Toronto’s Cameron House, a Vancouver support slot for PEARL, and a hometown celebration in Cranbrook.
Rooted in classic folk, rock ’n’ roll, Southern Rock and Americana, The Pages unravels like a personal diary. Across its 12 tracks — largely produced by Julian Bueckert, with contributions from Ian Docherty and Bryson — Maddisun distils stories of love, loss, growth, and self-reflection into something timeless.
“This album is truly me in every sense of the word,” Maddisun shares. “‘Big Star’ speaks to the emotional cycle artists move through while chasing the dream. I wanted the video to carry the same personal energy — so I self-produced it, starring me and my 1976 Chevy Chevette — to match the song’s vintage feel and the album’s themes.”
The release caps a whirlwind run for the Cranbrook-born artist, whose last five years have included two prior albums, more than ten singles, and over 500 live shows, including four NXNE appearances and a Folk Canada showcase at Folk Alliance International. Her travels have taken her throughout Canada, Ireland, and Los Angeles, shaping the wanderer’s spirit behind The Pages.
With the album and its new video, Maddisun reframes resilience as something gentle, atmospheric, and connective. “This album is about turning our hardest moments into beauty. I want people to hear it and feel seen, uplifted, and connected.”
The “Big Star” video is streaming now on YouTube.
The Pages is out on all platforms, with physical editions available via Maddisun’s website
