Fact check: Angel Olsen, Waxahatchee, and Harry Styles. It was written in Nashville and upstate New York, recorded in the latter by Diaz and Sam Cohen, and produced by Diaz, Cohen, and Konrad Snyder.
1. Summary of the results
The analyses reveal significant inconsistencies in the original statement's claims. Multiple sources confirm that Madi Diaz collaborated with Angel Olsen and Waxahatchee on an EP project [1] [2]. However, none of the sources mention Harry Styles as being involved in this collaboration. The sources specifically identify this as Madi Diaz's EP featuring Angel Olsen and Waxahatchee, with additional collaborators including Courtney Marie Andrews [2].
Regarding the production details mentioned in the original statement - the Nashville and upstate New York writing locations, recording by Diaz and Sam Cohen, and production by Diaz, Cohen, and Konrad Snyder - the analyses do not provide verification for these specific claims. While sources discuss Nashville's music industry influence broadly [3], none confirm the specific production details mentioned in the original statement.
2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints
The original statement lacks crucial context about the actual nature of this musical project. The analyses reveal this is specifically Madi Diaz's EP, not a collaborative project equally featuring all three artists mentioned [1] [2]. The statement presents the information as if all three artists were equal collaborators, when the evidence suggests Angel Olsen and Waxahatchee are featured artists on Diaz's project.
Additionally, the statement omits other significant collaborators mentioned in the sources, such as Courtney Marie Andrews [2], creating an incomplete picture of the actual musical collaboration. The analyses also provide quotes from the actual collaborators - Madi Diaz and Katie Crutchfield (Waxahatchee) - about the project [2], context that would help readers understand the true nature of the collaboration.
3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement
The most significant issue is the unsubstantiated inclusion of Harry Styles in the collaboration. While sources discuss Harry Styles' musical career and evolution as an artist [4] [5] [6], none connect him to the Madi Diaz EP project featuring Angel Olsen and Waxahatchee. This appears to be either factually incorrect information or a conflation of separate musical projects.
The statement also presents unverified production details without any source confirmation. The specific claims about Nashville and upstate New York writing locations, along with the detailed production credits for Sam Cohen and Konrad Snyder, cannot be substantiated by any of the provided analyses. This raises questions about the accuracy and sourcing of the original statement's claims.
