#NEWMUSIC: MAISIE PETERS “MY REGARDS” MUSIC VIDEO

Maisie Peters has released ‘My Regards’, the lead single from her recently announced new album Florescence.

After ‘You You You’, ‘Audrey Hepburn’ and ‘Say My Name In Your Sleep’, ‘My Regards’ offers a fresh taste of Florescence, with Maisie embracing her power, claiming her man, and radiating the assured glow of being truly loved – from her boyfriend’s bedroom.

“My Regards feels powerful, tongue in cheek, sexy and funny, all of which I feel are parts of myself I hadn’t really gotten to explore much musically up until this album!,” explains Maisie. “I was inspired by a lot of the country greats and their ‘stand by your man songs’, and so I thought I’d write my own modern day version; however in this song I get to play the role of fierce protector instead of simpering love interest, which is so often how women have been depicted in relationships throughout history.”

Inspired by the lyric “call me Kevin Costner the way I’m guarding his body,” Maisie teamed up with Amelia Dimoldenberg for her music video directorial debut, putting a modern spin on the 1992 classic The Bodyguard. Playing with the song’s subversive nature, Maisie steps into the role of a security guard protecting a movie star, played by Overcompensating creator and star Benito Skinner. Watch here.

“Directing this music video for Maisie has been an absolute joy,” shares Amelia. “From the moment I heard the track, I knew we had to lean into her gift for storytelling. I thought it would be interesting to subvert the ‘possessive girlfriend’ trope by making Maisie a literal bodyguard. It felt like a fun way to heighten the narrative.”

Arriving on 15 May, Florescence is co-produced with 2x Grammy Winner Ian Fitchuck. Featuring collaborations with Julia Michaels and Marcus Mumford, the record is a meditation on how the right love can help heal the wrong ones. It’s an album about perspective, self-realisation, healing, and ultimately, learning how to flourish.

Maisie will embark on a new run of global ‘Before The Bloom’ theatre dates on 1 March at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre, the tour will travel through Australia, East Asia, Europe, the UK, America, and Canada – see the full itinerary below, and access ticket here. Maisie has partnered with PLUS1 so that £1.20 (or local equivalent) per ticket goes to supporting organisations working for equity, access, and dignity for all.
