Nashville musician, songwriter and performer Madi Diaz just wrapped her headline tour in support of her “magnificent” (Forbes) new album, Weird Faith, further establishing Diaz as “one of our most important songwriters” (Paste). Bold in its honesty, Weird Faith highlights the human experience of spinning out on the fall into love. She now returns and further explores these ideas with ‘One Less Question’ featuring multi-hyphenate Lennon Stella. Together, Diaz and Stella debuted the song last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, marking Diaz’s return to the show. Co-produced by Konrad Snyder and Diaz, who co-wrote with Stella, and Kate York, the song is about real love, and, as Diaz explains, “how real love doesn’t make you wonder. How it feels when you know in your whole body that this person is in your life to stay. It’s unconditional. It’s trust. It’s true. It’s just one less question you have to answer because that person IS an answer. What a beautiful thing to get to experience that feeling.”
Diaz further states, “I’m beyond honored that Lennon let me record my version of this song, and the very idea that she said yes when I asked her to be a part of it couldn’t be more of a dream come true. I’m honored to have her be a part of this story and I’m honored to be a small part of hers. This song simply wouldn’t exist if we hadn’t found one another.”
“I love this song so much,” says Stella. “Madi and I wrote it with Kate York, on the night of a hang at my house out in Leipers Fork. I am so excited for this one to be heard. It’s incredibly special to the three of us.”
‘One Less Question’ furthers Diaz’s collaborations with incredible musicians, including Angel Olsen, Waxahatchee, Courtney Marie Andrews, Joy Oladokun, and most recently Kacey Musgraves, who Diaz will be supporting throughout Europe and the UK beginning later this month.
