Madison Cunningham Shares Previously Unreleased Song 'Inventing the Wheel'

Madison Cunningham confirms she'll be releasing a deluxe edition of her Grammy-award winning album, Revealer, and shares previously unreleased song "Inventing The Wheel." Pre-order the deluxe album HERE.

Of the song, Cunningham recalls, "It was one of those songs that, once realized, was able to write itself. I think it's kind of a revelation that happens when you finally look outside of yourself and see that you're not the first or the last to feel limited by your emotional bandwidth. And with that revelation, you see your peers, your family, your idols, your enemies, all standing at ground zero looking up, scratching at the same questions. There's a heavy emphasis on the idea of loss on Revealer, and this song helped complete that thought in me in some way."

Set for release May 5, the digital deluxe album will also feature "Hospital (One Man Down)," her recent collaboration with singer-songwriter and producer Remi Wolf, plus two new tracks.

Cunningham was just confirmed as direct support of the entirety of Hozier's forthcoming U.S. tour, kicking off on September 9 with stops in 25 cities including New York's Madison Square Garden, Morrison's Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Los Angeles' Hollywood Bowl and more. Complete list of dates below.

Her album Revealer was released last year to widespread critical acclaim, and she recently took home the Grammy Award for "Best Folk Album" at the 65th Annual ceremony. Watch her perform "Life According to Raechel" from the album during the premiere ceremony.

"Best Folk Album" is Cunningham's first Grammy win and fourth nomination overall, having previously been up for "Best American Roots Performance" for "Life According To Raechel," as well as "Best Folk Album" for Wednesday (Extended Edition) in 2021 and "Best Americana Album" for Who Are You Now in 2020.
