Maria Taylor comes with no small degree of pedigree.
Also known as one half of Azure Ray (with co-vocalist Orenda Fink), previous collaborations include work with Jim Eno, Michael Stipe and many, many more.
New solo album 'In The Next Life' falls on December 9th, and it's a striking work of fluid creativity and a real emotional punch.
Folk textures with pop's immediacy, there's a sense of Southern mystery at work in Maria's songwriting, a slight gothic tint that haunts her music.
New cut 'Free Song' has a warm, sunset feel, with the simple arrangement placing renewed emphasis on the lyricism and, of course, that honeyed voice.
Tune in now.
