Fresh from her instantly sold-out intimate ‘Before the Bloom’ comeback shows across London and New York, Maisie Peters has shared another taste of her soon-to-be-announced third studio album with ‘Say My Name In Your Sleep’, the first of two collaborations between Peters and 2X Grammy winner Marcus Mumford. Listen HERE. It also features backing vocals from Australian artist Gretta Ray, who has been a close collaborator and friend of Peters over the past couple of years, and supported her on her Australian and UK “The Good Witch Tour”.
Handpicked as Zane Lowe’s New Music Dailytrack of the day, ‘Say My Name In Your Sleep’ is built on delicate fingerpicked guitar and loosely inspired by Daphne du Maurier’s 1938 Gothic novel ‘Rebecca’. Contemplating love’s lasting imprint, its push and pull between past and future underpins one of the album’s central arcs: how the right love helps you heal from the wrong one.
“‘Say My Name In Your Sleep’ is a song about both haunting and being haunted,” explains Maisie. “It’s about keeping a constant eye on the past – on the person you loved – whilst being old enough and grown enough to know it wasn’t right, and to wish them all the best. It’s about having a tiny, secret sliver of your heart that still, deep down, hopes and prays they think of you – just a little, just when it’s dark, just when they hear that song on the radio. It’s about letting go, begrudgingly, but letting your shadow linger a moment too long.”
Maisie continues: “It was one of the first songs Marcus and I wrote together in Real World Studios in deep winter – there was something magical and spooky in the air there, and I think it definitely got translated into this song.”
Stay tuned for more Maisie news soon.
