New Music: The Madden Brothers - 'We Are Done'
You just knew this day would come. Good
The Madden Brothers (now as an official duo) have
signed a deal with Capitol Records, will release their first album ‘Greetings
from California’ in October, and the two released on iTunes last Monday (June 2)
the first single, ‘We Are Done’. What a title!
“We worked a very long time on this record,” explains Joel. “We’ve been working for almost three years on this Madden Brothers record and were so happy to finally be done with it.” And Good Charlotte fans don’t need to worry! “Good Charlotte will always be,” he adds. “It’s in our DNA, but it’s the Madden Brothers now, so we just decided to break off and do this new thing. We had to spend almost three years trying to find our sound … and get inspired.”
This The Madden Brothers project is really
beneficial especially to Benji. He's, to put it simple, the most unsuccessful
of the Madden brothers (although he is now dating Cameron Diaz). Joel married Nicole
Richie, had two beautiful children with her and most-recently he’s been a coach
in The Voice Australia.
The Madden Brothers’s first single ‘We Are Done’ is such a SHOCK, though. You wouldn’t expect a sound like it from Joel and Benji at all, especially knowing their origins in Good Charlotte. The Madden Brothers should have released ‘We Are Done’ as their first single in the UK, and choose a different track for the US.. Why? Because ‘We Are Done’ sounds like 60s British pop! The song is cute, but releasing this as their first single in the US is such a risky move. This will either be a huge hit or flop. No in-betweens!
