About Madeline Merlo

With a crystalline country vocal and an international rep for writing vivid scenes of emotional insight, BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville artist Madeline Merlo is a rising star with an old soul and a new school style. To her, dreams aren’t just for those who have it all figured out. Already a Platinum-certified No. 1 songwriter poised to be a breakout artist, Merlo’s new project ONE HOUSE DOWN (from the girl next door) finds a lifelong striver embracing her own imperfect perfection, and hopefully spreading the word. Merlo calls ONE HOUSE DOWN (from the girl next door) her most emotionally insightful project yet – a six-song message of self-worth that comes with a superstar boost and plays to her creative strength. Representing a “sonic elevation” of heart pounding modern country and breathtaking, beam-of-light vocals – both tender and untamed at the same time – the set was produced by progressive-minded hitmaker Zach Crowell (Sam Hunt, Luke Bryan, Dustin Lynch), and came into focus with the title track – “ONE HOUSE DOWN (from the girl next door),” backed by guitar melodies from none other than Keith Urban. “At the end of the day, if they feel like they are one house down from the girl next door and not enough, I hope this EP can feel really honest,” she goes on. “I hope it makes people feel heard, seen and understood.”
