Chart-topping British singer-songwriter Maisie Peters has returned, unveiling two brand new singles – ‘You You You’ and ‘Audrey Hepburn’ – out now via Gingerbread Man Records/Atlantic Records. Listen HERE.
The singles land as Maisie’s first new music since headlining Wembley Arena, opening The Eras Tour, and becoming the youngest solo British female artist in almost a decade to bag a debut UK No.1 album (‘The Good Witch’) back in 2023.
Signalling the next chapter of Maisie’s already storied young career, ‘You You You’ and ‘Audrey Hepburn’ offer a first glimpse into the world of her much-anticipated, soon-to-be-announced and third studio album.
“Audrey Hepburn is a song that for me defines this album, and my life in recent times”, Maisie explains. “It’s about how love gave me an inner peace, calm, strength and confidence, a safe place and an escape from the mania of my life in the last few years. You You You is about the darkest trench of my last heartbreak, a song I wrote very much in retrospect, thinking about how consumed I was by that sadness, something I could have only seen truly in hindsight. I wrote You You You in the beginning stages of the truest love of my life so far (the Audrey love) so these songs, whilst tonally are so different, feel so connected in so many ways. Neither could have existed without the other, so I’m so glad everyone is getting to experience them at the same time.”
To mark her comeback, Maisie will take the stage for two intimate shows at EartH Hackney over the next few days, with the first show pencilled in for tonight, 9th October, and the second tomorrow. Announced just last week, both performances sold out immediately.
Stay tuned for more Maisie news over the coming weeks, and see below credits for ‘You You You’ and ‘Audrey Hepburn’.
‘You You You’ – Written by Maisie Peters and Alysa Vanderheym. Produced by Maisie Peters, Alysa Vanderheym and Ian Fitchuk.
‘Audrey Hepburn’ – Written by Maisie Peters and Joe Rubel. Produced by Maisie Peters, Joe Rubel and Ian Fitchuk.
Maisie Peters is back with her brand new single, ‘Body Better’ – the first from her soon to be announced new album – out now via Gingerbread Man Records/Asylum. Listen HERE. Peters will be supporting Ed Sheeran on his upcoming Mathematics Tour!
Written by Maisie, alongside Ines Dunn (Griff, Mimi Webb) and producer Matias Téllez (girl in red, AURORA), ‘Body Better’ brims with more candour and vulnerability than ever before, showcasing the evolution of Maisie’s acclaimed diary-style songwriting to serve as a fitting entry point to the new record.
“Body Better is one of the most honest songs I’ve ever released, and definitely the most personal”, Maisie shares. “I wrote it after a breakup and it deals with the ugly things you think to yourself in the aftermath, when you’re painstakingly going through everything small thing you did and were and wondering what you could have changed. It’s a song about insecurity and vulnerability, about giving a lot of yourself away to someone who decides they don’t want it anymore, and knowing where to go from there.”
With 20,000 tickets sold across the UK and Europe this spring, Maisie is now set to perform her biggest shows to date, including Eventim Apollo on 27th April (which sold out in just an hour), a headline slot at Liverpool’s Sound City on 30th April and a homecoming show at Brighton Dome as part of The Great Escape Festival on 12th May, where – alongside Arlo Parks – she’s confirmed as one of the two 2023 Spotlight Shows.
