Mary Middlefield Shares New Single ‘Summer Affair’
Rising indie-rock singer and songwriter Mary Middlefield returns with her brand new single Summer Affair, a radiant, hook-filled ode to fleeting love, freedom and the chaos of feeling everything at once.
Written by Maria Mitterfellner and Yvan Vindret, Summer Affair follows breakout singles Will You Read My Mind and Bite Me, and finds the talented artist showcasing a vibrant celebration of freedom, desire, and unapologetic individuality. I am really enjoying the tone of her voice and how confident her vocal delivery is, beautifully capturing the feeling of being unapologetically alive over a polished indie-rock production. Accompanying her gorgeous vocals we have sun-soaked guitar riffs nicely intertwined with infectious rhythms and punchy drum beats that create an overall warm, feel-good atmosphere that invites listeners to throw caution to the wind and embrace the moment.
Speaking about the song, Middlefield said,
The accompanied music video, directed by Imogen Harrisson, shows a sensual, pastel-toned summer garden party that unfolds at a sun-drenched country house, where Mary performs and moves through a liberated, joyfully expressive crowd.
Summer Affair is a celebration of freedom in its rawest, most joyful form. I wanted to capture the feeling of being unapologetically alive; dancing without restraint, laughing too loud, changing your mind just because you can. It’s about giving yourself permission to feel everything - to be messy, expressive, soft, raw, and real. To share that energy with the people you love. In a world that often feels constricted and pre-scripted, this song is my way of breaking the rules, reclaiming spontaneity, and turning it into something beautiful and fun.
