Maya Hirasedo, a young singer/songwriter from Melbourne, Australia combines elements from her roots with old school and new age sound to match her deeply resonant voice. This time, Maya is back to immerse us in a smooth and irresistible RnB record. ‘Times I Fell,’ a 5-track sensual EP, includes fresh tracks that R&B aficionados and Maya’s devoted followers are sure to enjoy. Maya is one of the most up-and-coming artists on the scene, and the EP is propelling her into uncharted territory.
Talking about the new EP, Maya Hirasedo shares:
“‘The inspiration for the project came from personal experiences and those of my friends. It felt like we all had similar stories of falling quickly for a guy, being so deep in love, and then the guy switching up. I worked on the EP during Melbourne COVID-19 lockdown, doing zoom sessions with great artists/songwriters like Kaleem Taylor, Gen Bello, and Phi11a. The EP features production by HAMLEY, Larce Blake, moedoisnice, and ARTT. I recorded the entire trilogy during trips to New York City pre lockdown, and Toronto post lockdown but the majority was done in Melbourne during the lockdown. I had to sneak out during the lockdown and avoid getting a crazy fine by our government for being more than 2 km away from my house. With Australia’s tight COVID restrictions, working on the EP was the main thing that kept me sane. I wasn’t really able to work or see friends in person without risking a crazy fine or potentially endangering my family from exposure. Creating this music and capturing the stories of friends was an amazing outlet for me.”
‘Times I Fell,’ which features the singles ‘Sinking’ and ‘True Love,’ as well as the soaring ‘I Know,’ which has amassed hundreds of thousands of streams since its debut in 2021, is full of devotion and blues, and R&B rhythms that will melt you into the alluring ambiance.
