Madi Diaz is set to release her new album, 'Fatal Optimist,' on October 10, 2025, via ANTI-. Coinciding with the album announcement, Diaz has unveiled the lead single "Feel Something," accompanied by a video directed by Allister Ann.
'Fatal Optimist': The Culmination of a Trilogy
'Fatal Optimist' is described as the concluding chapter in Diaz's trilogy of albums centered around themes of heartache. This follows her 2021 release, 'History of a Feeling,' and the Grammy-nominated 'Weird Faith' from 2024. Working alongside co-producer Gabe Wax, Diaz has crafted a raw and intimate sound for the album, emphasizing her voice and guitar to reflect a period of post-breakup isolation.
"Feel Something": A Glimpse into Post-Breakup Emotions
