MAYCE releases her first single since her rebrand launch and is ready to open up about how it feels to release music since her exit from record label, EMPIRE and her long-term management. A seasoned artist, highly-respected vocalist, songwriter, notable and coveted live performer, MAYCE decides on “The Man That I Met” for her debut track drop. Although the record takes us down-memory-lane, in a melancholy, dreamy state of nostalgia, there is a striking shift in the MAYCE sound that showcases we are listening to an evolved, empowered female artist that we were not confronted with before.
“The Man That I Met” stems from a time where MAYCE uprooted the complex life she was living in Los Angeles to build a much simpler existence in Utah. Accompanied by alternative and western influences, whilst holding a pop edge with her trademark power vocals, the song lives as a time capsule of the good things about a certain person despite how bad it ended, finding yourself wondering how things could have been had the circumstances been different. She pens a heartfelt love letter to remind herself and her audience that although some things can end in pain, there is value in remembering the best in people. Her skill of songwriting matches the simplistic approaches of artists such as Dolly Parton.
It has a silky resonation to it, almost like a musical fusion of Christina Aguilera and
Alanis Morissette. Jumping into a new genre, accompanied with simple songwriting,
lies a very precise and truthful execution of the artist who manages to transport riveting layers and emotions. Lyric Extract – “The Man That I Met” 2015, that’s when it hit me I’ve been to more cities than miles I could drive Singin songs that were shitty
And you’d sing ‘em wit me You’d say I sound beautiful I know that’s a lie And a part of me misses All of those kisses Small town dive bars Billy Joel nights I wish it was easier And maybe I’d be with you “I wrote ‘The Man That I Met’ based on a relationship that ended in so much pain but I didn’t let that feeling blind me from remembering all of the good things about that person. When something ends in hurt, it usually leaves a bad taste in our mouths, causing us to forget that those moments highlighted the worst versions of ourselves. This song brings maturity to light, especially once a relationship comes to a close. To recall someone for their light in this world instead of the dark shows growth, and I’ve never been more proud to release a song.” – MAYCE
As anticipation builds for the release of “The Man That I Met”, MAYCE continues to tease her following on social media with new visuals and content from this new chapter. Her socials showcase sneak peaks and tease clues for what MAYCE is planning on dropping next.
