Zachary Mason’s latest single, “Madness Gladness”, is a compelling journey into the emotional whirlwind of love, told through lush dream pop textures and understated folk-rock flourishes. Hailing from Guildford, England, Mason continues to show his artistic depth with this romantic and introspective track, his ninth single and fourteenth official release.
Originally written in 2021 and refined through multiple recordings over the years, “Madness Gladness” finally finds its home in this 2025 version, polished and poignant. The track captures a fictional yet deeply human character consumed by the paradox of love, its chaos, its clarity, its madness, and its gladness.
The soundscape is drenched in warm reverb and airy melodies, offering a soft, immersive atmosphere that leans more toward dream pop than Mason’s earlier rock promises. However, fans of his folk-rock roots won’t be disappointed, especially with the contributions of Nate Barnes on drums and John Thomasson (Little Big Town) on bass. The mix and master by Derrick Lin in Hong Kong add an international sheen to the production.
“Madness Gladness” is a thoughtful, emotive release that proves Zachary Mason is unafraid to explore the softer, more poetic edges of his artistry.
