(14 Nov 2023) Madi Diaz & Kacey Musgraves - Don't Do Me Good (Single; Anti/Epitaph) 4:13 Alternative performed by Kacey Musgraves, Madi Diaz; written by Amy Wadge, Madi Diaz Track 8 from the album WEIRD FAITH out Feb 9, 2024

Speaking more to the collaboration with Musgraves, Diaz commented, “I am so happy Kacey said ‘yes’ when I asked her to sing on ‘Don’t Do Me Good.’ This song would have been so awfully lonely without her and I am so grateful I get to hear her voice on this with mine.”

“This song is about that person that we keep coming back to,” Diaz explained, “no matter how many times they let us down. It's about waking up every day and making the choice to love a person unconditionally while it’s simultaneously getting harder and harder to ignore that nothing is getting better in the relationship. It’s stubborn, it’s defiant, it's hopeful, and it's aggressively optimistic. It’s about being a bit of a masochist and being so in love with the hard work of loving a person that you don’t know how to walk away from them.”

Diaz (vocals, guitar, bass, piano, organ) and Musgraves (vocals) are joined by the album’s co-producers Sam Cohen (bass) and Konrad Snyder (percussion), as well as The Walkmen’s Matt Barrick (drums, percussion). The song’s accompanying music video was directed by Elizabeth Olmstead.

On her last album, HISTORY OF A FEELING, Diaz confronted the dissolution of a long relationship and a nuanced breakup. On Weird Faith Diaz once again examines a romantic partnership, but this time, her songs are about falling for someone and the endless self-questioning a new relationship inspires. “After being really burned by love – maybe relentlessly burned by it – the album is about being brave and trying again. Doing it differently,” she says. “It’s in our nature to try to be brave like that. You see the car crash coming. Maybe it won’t happen, but you're bracing for it anyway.” In the throes of new love, she repeatedly encountered the same questions: “Am I ready for this? Can I do this? Can I trust myself to know the good from the bad?”

ABOUT: Madi Diaz grew up in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where she was home-schooled by her Peruvian mother, Nancy, a proponent of early childhood development and the visual arts, and her Danish father, Eric, a woodworker and musician. She began piano lessons at age five from her father.

After high school, Diaz was accepted to Berklee College of Music. At Berklee, she began working with Kyle Ryan, the Nebraska-raised guitarist who would be her songwriting collaborator for her early career.

Madi has been making records and writing songs professionally since the late 2000s, but it wasn’t until she released 2021’s History Of A Feeling that she felt the glare of wider notoriety. It wasn’t her debut album, but it certainly felt like it.  She made her daytime and nighttime television debuts, embarked on her first solo tour since 2014, supported Waxahatchee and Angel Olsen on tour, and collaborated with them on record.

The song "The End of the Day," written by Diaz and Sarah Siskind, was featured on the television series Nashville (performed by Connie Britton and Charles Esten).

She signed with ANTI- Records in February 2021.

Harry Styles handpicked Diaz to open for him in arenas and stadiums in North America, and was so taken by her captivating live show, he asked her to be a member of his touring band, to sing alongside him all over Europe and the UK, as well as continuing to open the show in various cities.

Following a headline show at London’s Bush Hall (Oct 12, 2023), Diaz embarked on a North American tour supporting My Morning Jacket.

After three months on the road touring internationally, Diaz is back in Nashville and gearing up to release her new album, Weird Faith, perched on the precipice of her moment. 617,387 Monthly Spotify Listeners
