Lola

Lee: 20 years after its release, Chris & myself wrote our inspired version, 'Mistress, Mistress' - it sounded fab but, as agent 1 would say, 'this song is available absolutely nowhere!' Lola obviously had an unearthly effect on myself as ...

Deolali

Chris: I've got so many songs that I've written with Lee that have never seen the light of day, and I didn't want these to get lost. In the end, a lot of mine and Thommo's songs ended up on the 'box set' version of the album. So what happened ...

Disappear

"Disappear" is a track composed by Suggs and Bedders for the Madness album "Absolutely". It is considered to be their most melodic creation and has a Motown-inspired sound. The song begins with a beautiful piano melody from Barson and ...

C’est La Vie

Madness has done it again! While it may not be a US number one, it has earned a spot on the B List on Radio 2. From the Act 1 introduction to the newly minted saxophone intro, "C'est La Vie" will have you hooked from the start. Lee's classic ...

Mumbo Jumbo

(You) Cant Keep A Good Thing Down

Blackbird

Can’t Touch Us Now

Another Version of Me

Missing You

Set Me Free (Let Me Be)

With his fifth composition on the album, Foreman presents a smooth yet dark track that instantly immerses you into the shadows of lockdown, evoking images of watching the sun and the moon and the seasons pass from the window of an empty room. ...

Rise And Fall

Coldest Day

Dangerman AKA High Wire

Cathal: Take a piece of thread, pass it thru the eye of a needle and wash it in purple sand. Stitch a circle of gold silk to a blue mohair jacket and whisper three times beneath a full moon the incantation... love is the answer... all will be ...

Misery

Chris: 'Misery' was Cathal again. I said, "Oh, we should get a barbershop quartet on this". And so we got this barbershop quartet to sing on the choruses, and they were really good. They recently got in touch with me, because one of them died, ...

Time For Tea

If I Go Mad

The track is a magnificent piece of music that should have been the first single. Originally debuted during the lockdown in the one-off show "The Get Up!" in late 2022, it quickly stood out. Suggs' vocal delivery is flawless, likely because he ...

Nutty Theme

We didn’t want to be ‘ska’ but to have our own sound,” says Suggs. Both he and Chris say that the “Steptoe & Son” theme was at the front of their minds here, too, along with “Billy Bentley,” a Kilburn & the High Roads song.

Bullingdon Boys

Madness today unveil snap release 'Bullingdon Boys'. The seminal British pop band's first new music since 2016, 'Bullingdon Boys' is a self explanatory, barbed swipe at the charlatans, rotters and chancers at the top of the tree who have done ...

Round We Go

The song, written by Woodgate, is a catchy tune that deserves to be released as a single. The backing singers provide a solid hook, and the studio mix boasts a stronger, more heavenly intro than the raw live version. It's likely that Madness is ...
