Madeline Kenney - Sucker

- WORLD - "When I lived in Durham, I found myself sitting in the sun on the porch with a musical hero of mine, who was worried about losing their healthcare and not being able to afford tour. It blew my mind and broke my heart that such a genius had to struggle with uncertainty in trying to make their art.

I wrote 'Sucker' when I realized that all of us continue to make art, and fall in love, and attempt things that logically could fall apart at any moment, but we are fools for the game and keep producing, keep pursuing. I asked Kurt Wagner to sing on the track because I feel like he is consistently brave in his songwriting (and I'm a HUGE Lambchop fan). When he sent me the stems, I drank a martini and cried."

Madeline Kenney - "Sucker" (Official Music Video)

"Sucker" is the first single taken from Madeline Kenney's forthcoming album, "Sucker's Lunch," out July 31st.

About the video: "I'm a huge fan of con-movies; my favorite film is Paper Moon. I wanted to direct a video that put me as the con-man, whose existence relies on making suckers out of passers-by; but ended with me being the biggest loser of all. I lucked out when my favorite Oakland diner, Lois the Pie Queen, let us film on location."

Think of the artists, they illuminate your daily life and feed the memory of pretty refrains which will become memories.
