Fresh from touring the UK, Europe and Australia with Jamie Miller, the English-born, Los Angeles-based next up pop hope Maisy Kay now announces a double-shot of new activity. Today she unveils her brand new single ‘Somebody You Never Touched’ as she prepares for her upcoming headline tour. Listen HERE.
After moving from the two-part ‘Wonderlust’ EP chapters ‘The Dusk’ and ‘The Dawn’, Maisy Kay now steps into the mid-summer sun with ‘Somebody You Never Touched’. It is fluorescent, super-charged pop with Maisy’s topline exuding confidence and high spirits.
The song’s emotions, however, are like two sides of a coin: one is tinged with regret for ever getting involved with a past love interest in the first place, but the other pulsates with the empowerment of being happy to leave him hanging in the past. The significance of the “seven years” lyric is a reference to the fact that on average every cell in the human body regenerates after that time: so after seven years, you’re, in a sense, an entirely new person.
Maisy Kay fuses nostalgic dance and pop influences within the contemporary soundscape to create tracks which will appeal to fans of Sabrina Carpenter, Dua Lipa and Chappell Roan. Her first major breakthrough came with 40 million streams and 320 million video views for ‘The Storm’, her collaboration with TheFatRat. Further high profile collabs came with Timbaland, Tiësto, R3HAB and Rodney “Darkchild” Jenkins, while she also landed a Spotify #1 when she performed Japanese-language lyrics on J-pop star Anly’s ‘Distance’.
Her artistry can be both moody and euphoric, but it’s also effortlessly chic – and often infused with esoteric ideas, such as using the Na’vi language (the fictional dialect from ‘Avatar’) in her single ‘The Beast Within’. Her recent tour with Jamie Miller followed previous extensive runs with JVKE and Tori Kelly. She is currently back in the UK working on sessions for upcoming releases.
