Madelyn Strutz
Madelyn Strutz songwriter, singer and multi-instrumentalist.
Bobbie Lovesong is the alias of devotional American recording artist Madelyn Strutz. “On The Wind” is the debut full length from Bobbie, who produced, performed, recorded, and mixed the album herself in 2020 during a lockdown in Taos, New Mexico. The album is a collection of psych-pop oddities and fizzy space age interpretations of jazz standards that are informed in equal parts by Larry Heard’s breezy dream sceneries, LSD blotted Americana and kaleidoscopic 60’s pop.
Currently stationed in Brooklyn, New York, the Chicagoland native had found her way to the west coast in the late 2010’s. Bobbie spent time in Olympia, Seattle and Rochester, WA, working as a farmer, touring as a hired hand with a myriad of bands like iji, Generifus, Deja Blue, Dark Tea and Color Green, and self-releasing music under the pseudonym Wolfgang Strutz.
Bobbie went to Taos, New Mexico when the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020 to quarantine with a long distance love. They lived communally with a small group of musicians as the lockdown stretched on for months. Retreating into an unfinished Earthship, Bobbie passed the days writing and recording music, with nothing more than a laptop microphone and a few instruments. Trials of love surrounded the long, strange trip until ultimately the pod parted ways.
At once surreal, timeless and extraterrestrial, “On The Wind” can be heard as a hallucinatory sonic love letter to Taos.

Paris by Starlight
|
"The album is Paris By Starlight by Bobbie Lovesong and this one positively floats. Yes, this is one of those dreams where you can fly and Lovesong has created a lighter-than-air soundscape. With analog synths, vibey grooves and subliminal voices popping up throughout, Paris By Starlight is an energy all of its own. It’s something special.” -Aaron Stein, Jambase |

"Lovesong’s story– and her sound– seems to embrace the beautiful parts of the past while existing squarely in the present-day. Ultimately, this old-yet-new quality makes the album into an instant classic." - Highclouds
