Maeve - Make Me Yours (Single)
Singer-songwriter Maeve shares her latest single ‘Make Me Yours’, from her forthcoming EP ‘HYPERBLOOM’. The track is out now whilst the EP drops 2nd June.
The follow-up track to ‘Hounds’, ‘Can We Just Get High?’ and ‘Anybody Else’ from sophomore EP ‘HYPERBLOOM’, ‘Make Me Yours’ is more whimsical, playful and lighthearted than the previous releases. A nod to summer days and feeling in love, the song perfectly encapsulates the mood of the season. On the track, the artist states: “I wanted it to feel like you were literally jumping into a swimming pool so to create that feeling I sampled waves crashing from my hometown, Grand Cayman. The writing process was really natural; it started with the bassline and the lyrics were super conversational and free flowing. I wanted to add a surreal element with the psychedelic phaser vocals in the second verse.” The result is a nostalgic and dream-like track with the common thread of love and infatuation that Maeve weaves throughout the 7-track EP, maintaining her signature sound of epic and euphoric sonics layered by breathy vocals.
An EP about finding human connection in a world that is falling apart, ‘HYPERBLOOM’ is Maeve’s offering of hope, of finding pockets of happiness in a dystopian world. Touching on themes of digital identities, mental health, religion, misogyny, altered-reality, irony and love, the EP is a coming of age body of work. Laced with guitar solos and nostalgic synths, it’s music to soundtrack long drives at night, sonic soundscapes that take you to another place, as the artist adds: “I love the cinematic melodrama so I didn’t shy away from making the songs sound big sonically.” Working with her partner John Clancy on the tracks, who adds instrumentation to her production as well as live shows, this is a personal offering to the world straight from her heart to her fans.
