Maddie Zahm announces her debut album Now That I've Been Honest

LA-based singer-songwriter Maddie Zahm announces her debut album Now That I’ve Been Honest, alongside new single "Where Do All The Good Kids Go?"

"Where Do All The Good Kids Go?" is accompanied by a music video directed by Gus Black, and follows the previous release, "STEP ON ME".

On the single, Zahm says: "“Good Kids” is a bridge from the EP to the album in order to set my listeners up for the journey that comes with owning your truth. When I left the church and moved to the city I realised I had absolutely no preparation for the real world. “Good Kids” serves as a question that hopefully, through these twelve songs is eventually answered. A messy, beautiful introduction to a messy, beautiful journey."

Zahm launched onto the scene when her single "Fat Funny Friend" galvanised TikTok and became an empowering anthem for people experiencing fat phobia, societal pressure and body dysmorphia. The single came from her 2022 EP, You Might Not Like Her, which shared Zahm's story of leaving her hometown of Boise, Idaho where she was a worship leader at the tender age of 13, and eventually moving to Los Angeles where she came out as queer.

Tracklist:

  1. Where Do All The Good Kids Go?
  2. Eightball Girl
  3. Thanks For Coming Out
  4. oh um (interlude)
  5. Lady Killer
  6. Robin Williams
