Madison Mcferrin - Stay Away (from Me) Apr 2026

"Stay Away (From Me)" was one of the first songs McFerrin fully produced herself. She played nearly all the instruments, including the piano, synth, and bass, while layering her own vocals to create a "velvet soul" sound with hints of jazz and rhythmic bounce. Reviewers from Clash Music have compared her emotive vocal delivery to that of Erykah Badu.

While the title might sound like it is addressed to another person, the lyrics actually speak to her own anxiety and self-doubt . The refrain "stay away from me" is a command to the negative pressures and internal voices that tell her she doesn't know who she is or that she is running out of time.
