With the release of her eponymous debut album, rising UK based indie-folk artist Maria Mihailik has offered the most expansive and memorable showcase of her distinctive appeal to date, putting together a collection of tracks that document her journey as she explores her thoughts and feelings through a timeless and nostalgic lens.

The lead single from the album is ‘Would You Be Compelled?’, a track that has a real sense of composure and softness to it, her distinctive vocals accompanied by delicate guitars and gorgeous strings as it progresses. There is a rawness to the artist’s sound that still feels pronounced and powerful, offering it an atmospheric and organic-feeling edge that amplifies the strength of lyrics that explore the kind of experiences and shape us and instil us with things like power and vulnerability. It makes for a truly compelling listen throughout, and one that offers the perfect window into the album as a whole.
