Introducing another side to Mae’s musical prowess, the EP departs from the bright, infectious sound that introduced her as one of pop’s most promising new names, returning to the songwriter’s palette that she drew from before her big break. It’s a record full of poignantly candid lyricism and heartstring-pulling melodies, showcasing Mae’s incredible vocal skills, and taking influence from artists like Sigrid, Florence and The Machine and US singer-songwriter, Cody Fry as it shares reflections on self-discovery and overcoming adversity. “I think it’s time to share a piece of the real Mae with you…” – Mae Stephens Lead single ‘Small Town Syndrome’ details feeling like you’re stuck in a goldfish bowl of a community where everyone knows the ins and outs of your life. Across the EP, Mae tackles themes of identity, trauma, and self-discovery, sharing her thoughts and experiences in these songs as a means for her to move on to a new chapter in her life. Although the record is tied to the cruel bullying she experienced at school, it contains the universally relatable feelings that come with confronting the scars of your past and searching for identity and authenticity. ‘Securely Insecure’ follows a big start to the year for Mae, which saw her named as one of VEVO’s ‘Artists To Watch’ for 2024.
