Maïa Davies Shares New Single ‘Lift Me Up’

Canadian, Juno-nominated producer, songwriter and recording artist Maïa Davies shares her brand new single Lift Me Up, an emotional, piano-driven piece of music. 

 

Written in Berlin at HANSA studios (and produced by Marcus Paquin), Lift Me Up is a melodic plea to break free from the loneliness of unmet expectations, a relatable message wistfully weaved between confessional pop and synth nostalgia. I am a fan of Davies' powerful vocals and how they exude so much emotion, drawing us to her longing to belong and her all-too-human loneliness that instantly makes me feel each and every single word she is singing. Apart from her heartfelt lyrics and gorgeous vocals, I am particularly fond of the emotive piano-based melody that is nicely paired with steady percussive elements and bright electronics that together create an overall warm, intimate atmosphere.

Speaking about the song, Maïa Davies said,

This song was a chance for me to become ultra-honest about my need to belong, and my disappointment at not finding true connections in my life. It was an examination of myself, of what my role in my unhappiness was and how I could break that curse. I think I had to become ready to attempt happiness, so I wrote this song aspirationally, in hopes it would come to be realized.
