2x GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter Madi Diaz is known for searing explorations of romance and has created her most powerful statement. Raw and stripped down, Fatal Optimist is Madi at her most intimate and most bold. She and producer, Gabe Wax, set out to strip these songs back, relying on her performance and her writing. The result is a classic and timeless indie-folk album. Fatal Optimist is the follow up to her 2023 critically acclaimed album Weird Faith.
