Mary Middlefield Shares New Single ‘Wake Up!’
Rising indie-rock singer and songwriter Mary Middlefield returns with her brand new single Wake Up!, a confrontational, high-voltage power pop/rock gem.
Wake Up! finds the talented artist capturing the moment where restraint collapses and raw emotion takes the wheel, a spiralling inner monologue where bitterness, self-disgust and projection blur into one volatile voice. It's a brutally honest portrait of emotional collapse, loud, ugly, self-aware and impossible to ignore as she attempts to shed her own skin. A relatable storytelling that is flawlessly conveyed through Middlefield's powerful, confident vocals and passionate delivery that soars effortlessly over the high-energy production built on thunderous drums and jagged indie guitars.
Accompanying the new track, the official music video, directed by Imogen Harris, places Mary in a fractured, claustrophobic space that mirrors the song’s internal chaos. Check it out below!
Speaking about the song, Middlefield explains:
I wrote “Wake Up!” from a place where empathy shuts down and contempt takes over, including contempt for myself. The language is extreme because the headspace is extreme, not because it’s meant to incite violence or wish harm on anyone. It’s about how self-loathing can rot into something loud, ugly, and confrontational, especially when you project it outward. The song doesn’t celebrate that mindset or offer redemption; it exposes it. It’s the sound of catching yourself at your worst and letting the tape keep rolling.
