GRATITUDE TAKES CENTRE STAGE AS MADELAINE AND MAX ROMEO UNITE TO SEND THE PRAISES UP
What happens when Madelaine, a rising force in roots reggae, joins legendary Max Romeo for Send the Praises Up? Pure magic. This soul-stirring collaboration blends heartfelt gratitude with uplifting rhythms, delivering a track that celebrates life’s blessings while inspiring listeners to stay positive.
Italian-born, Jamaica-based artist Madelaine is rewriting the reggae rulebook with her soul-stirring new single Send the Praises Up, featuring the unmistakable wisdom of roots pioneer Max Romeo.
Released under her freshly minted label, Jah Wheel Records, the track is an electrifying ode to gratitude and resilience, a powerful message delivered with grace and groove.
MADELAINE’S VOCALS AND ROMEO’S ICONIC PRESENCE INVITE LISTENERS INTO A STATE OF UPLIFTMENT
The song’s origin is as profound as its sound. “This track stems from a reasoning with Max about life’s blessings and shedding negativity,” Madelaine shares. “It’s a call to see the light within and inspire others to do the same.”
Produced alongside Natural High of the Half-Way-Tree collective, the track’s lush arrangements blend classic reggae vibes with a modern spiritual depth. Anchored by Madelaine’s smooth yet commanding vocals and Romeo’s iconic presence, Send the Praises Up invites listeners into a meditative state of upliftment.
True to her love of the sound system culture, Madelaine offers a dub version of the track—a nod to her roots in the movement since the early 2000s. This collaboration doesn’t just echo through speakers, it resonates with a world in need of light and positivity.
