Agnes announces first full-length in five years, BEAUTIFUL MADNESS

"EGO was the first song I wrote for my new album," explains Agnes. "With this album, I wanted to reveal more sides of myself and highlight the opposites that can live within us and even work together. It's not about being good or bad – because we're all way more complicated and complex than the labels we give ourselves and each other. I wanted to capture the feeling that it is only when we dare to let go of control that life can surprise us."

"BEAUTIFUL MADNESS embraces contradictions, showing both strength and vulnerability while releasing the pursuit of perfection. I've realised that it's precisely in the contradictions, in the madness and the unfinished, that life actually feels alive. You can be selfish and loving at the same time. Ugly and beautiful. Have hubris and be humble. Everything fits within the same person – it lives and operates there simultaneously. That's what Beautiful Madness is. Life is a beautiful madness, and it's when we stop chasing perfection that the truly interesting things happen," Agnes says.
