After a very active and prosperous 2021, Madisyn is ready to take the rest of 2022 by the horns and make 2022 her year.

For Shaughnessy is a song that I wrote for my best friend when she was going through one of the hardest seasons of her life. I wrote it in a moment of surrender because there was really nothing I could do to fix what she was facing and whenever I’m put in a position like that the only thing I ever know how to do is write. Originally I was only going to give it to her on a flash drive for her birthday and not release it because it felt a bit too personal but she loved it so much that we decided to put it out. It makes me more emotional than any song I’ve ever written and I also think it’s one of my favourite songs I’ve ever written just because of how much it means to me. I’m so honoured to have such incredible friends and I’m so honoured to have the opportunity to share this song about one of my favourite people.” – Madisyn Gifford
