MAYA introducing her brand new single release, ‘Mesmerized’
Music holds the potential to heighten our senses through picturesque storylines and vibrant melodies, immersing listeners into an introspective dream-like state. MAYA, a singer-songwriter from Los Angeles, taps into this potential, transporting her audience to an enriched destination.
Inspired by relationships and the beauty within darkness, MAYA’s songs are shadowed by murky undertones that reflect her flirtation with distrust in love and good fortune. Despite having her roots firmly planted in the pop realm, her music is far removed from the cliches and conventions of cookie cutter “instant gratification” pop music. Instead, she opts for a more eclectic sound, primarily driven by the acoustic guitar, blended with a myriad of strings, and lifted by a variety of synths. Her instrumentation is equally as important as her vocals, allowing her songs to develop and breathe in a way that can only be described as organic.
Each of MAYA’s tracks acts as a clue, taking her audience up a staircase that leads to the inner workings of her mind. At its core, MAYA’s music is the narration of her past romances. Her track ‘Quicksand,’ for instance, is a compelling conversation about having quick and intense feelings for someone while dealing with the internal battles of not losing yourself in the process. Similarly, ‘Mesmerized’ explores the suspension of disbelief that occurs during a remarkable moment with that special someone.
MAYA is also an advocate for female equality within the music industry. She has worked with Alicia Keys’ she nonprofit ‘She Is The Music’ foundation, where she wrote in sessions with artists Maggie Lindemann, Anna Clendenning, and Shaylen.
What’s next for MAYA? After her first single ‘Quicksand’ and her followup song “Mesmerized”, she is currently preparing the release of her third song ‘Muffled Screams’.
