As promised Muse have premiered their first single from the forthcoming album The 2nd Law due for release on October 2nd. "Madness" was written by frontman Matt Bellamy after a fight with his girlfriend.
If it was written about his current girlfriend, that would be Kate Hudson. Bellamy spoke to KROQ radio in L.A and has said of the song " I rarely write songs that catharticly. All I had was a drum machine and a synthesizer so I just put this very minimal thing together. I wasn’t quite sure it would work with the band but when we started the album I showed it to Dom and Chris and they loved it. They sort of took it to another level by adding these extra parts at the end and it became a much bigger song. It’s a real surprise song for this album. It’s probably my favorite song that I’ve ever written.” Big props for a songwriter.....Check it out to see whether it's your favourite song Bellamy has ever written.
