Singer/songwriter Aisha Badru has shared her new single “A Little Mad,” a reflection on “the hamster wheel of modern life” that instead “challenges listeners to slow down, disconnect, and find comfort in stillness.”

Aisha Badru shares:

This song reflects my observations of modern times. We’re born into a system we’re conditioned to accept, even if it fuels our struggles. In many ways, we’re trapped by our own compliance. But this song isn’t about giving up. As an artist, my key message is: we can break free from these norms that deprive us of wellbeing. We can change our lives, and by extension, the world around us.

Aisha Badru has released Pendulum (2018) and several EPs and her music works towards “quieting the cacophony to pave a path towards introspection.” Her last EP, 2023’s Learning To Love Again, explores “the intersection between romantic entanglements and self-care.”
