Mae Stephens, the breakout pop sensation behind the infectious hit 'If We Ever Broke Up', takes a bold step back to her roots with the release of her latest EP, 'Securely Insecure'. Departing from the vibrant pop sound that catapulted her to fame, Stephens delves into a more introspective and emotionally charged musical landscape.
Drawing inspiration from artists like Sigrid, Florence and the Machine, and Cody Fry, 'Securely Insecure' showcases Stephens' exceptional songwriting and vocal abilities. The EP is a poignant exploration of self-discovery, vulnerability, and the challenges of overcoming adversity.
In the lead single, 'Small Town Syndrome', Stephens captures the suffocating feeling of being trapped in a small community where gossip and judgment run rampant. The song's relatable lyrics resonate with anyone who has ever felt stifled and misunderstood in a close-knit environment.
Stephens' raw and honest lyricism shines throughout the EP, tackling themes of identity, trauma, and the search for authenticity. 'You Don't Remember Me', a particularly evocative track, delves into the fear and anxiety that can arise from encountering past bullies. Stephens hopes the song will offer solace to those who have experienced similar trauma, reminding them that they are not alone.
'Securely Insecure' also features a cover of Kings Of Leon's 'Use Somebody', demonstrating Stephens' versatility as an artist. The EP serves as a testament to Stephens' growth as a musician and songwriter, as she embraces her unique voice and shares her personal experiences with the world.
Since bursting onto the scene, Mae Stephens has garnered a massive following, accumulating over 10 million monthly listeners on Spotify and earning accolades such as being named one of VEVO's 'Artists To Watch' for 2024. Her debut single, 'If We Ever Broke Up', achieved Gold status in both the UK and US, solidifying her position as one of pop's most promising new stars.
With 'Securely Insecure', Mae Stephens invites listeners on a journey of self-discovery and healing, proving that vulnerability can be a source of strength. The EP is a reminder that even in the face of adversity, it is possible to find one's voice and embrace what makes us unique.
