Grace Davies once again proves that pop can be both wildly entertaining and razor-sharp with her new single “MDE.” A riot of psychedelic production, playful wit, and infectious hooks, the track sees Davies diving into a moment of nightlife absurdity with her signature vocal charm and theatrical flair.

Arriving just as the season shifts toward pub gardens and warm nights, “MDE” captures the chaotic comedy of being cornered by a loudmouth on a night out. “It’s essentially the dialogue that goes on in my head when I’m on a night out with friends and we get chatted up by some sleazeball who won’t stop talking about crypto / stocks and shares,” she explains. “It encapsulates the phrase ‘chewing your ear off’ pretty well, I’d say!”

Built on a foundation of irresistible indie-pop rhythms and shimmering textures, “MDE” is equal parts performance and pop song. It’s a multi-layered listen, with Grace at the center—never lost in the noise, always in control.

As an artist who has long struck a balance between relatable storytelling and clever sonic design, Grace uses “MDE” to explore satire without sacrificing joy. It’s a standout moment that invites audiences into her world with open arms and a wink.

Part-pop monologue, part technicolor daydream, “MDE” is a confident step forward for Grace Davies as she continues to shape modern pop into something much more thoughtful—and fun.
