A British singer-songwriter who first came to our attention via her collaboration with Jakwob on his hit track “Fade,” Maiday is back with a storming new single to showcase her own style.
Opening with bold, brassy, bass notes, “Wish You’d Met Me First” is surely the epitome of self-assured power pop -- an anthem as frank as it is fierce.
While it may not be doing anything genre-defying (there is, to me, a touch of Banks about the production in places, courtesy of Jimmy Hogarth and ARRWS), it’s the kind of track with a chorus you can’t help but know the words to by the second or third listen. And that’s no bad thing in my book.
