Like the Cherry family, the McFerrins fall into the category of great dynasties of musical artists. Between Taylor, the eldest brother, who mixes Jazz and Hip Hop solo or in a group with R+R=NOW alongside Robert Glasper, the grandfather, an opera singer at Mette, and the master of the siblings, Bobby McFerrin, Madison has waited her turn. Forged in the school of the underground, she has blended the best family ingredients and has been churning out beautiful EPs and albums since 2016. The latest from 2023 features the excellent (Please Don’t) Leave Me Now, a restorative track she wrote after a car accident. Madison McFerrin’s enchanting pop’n’soul will “volupter” the night at Palais Longchamp, and the family stars, like benevolent guardian angels, will shine with a thousand and one lights.
