Emerging from London, Maxine Scott delivers a short yet sweet nugget of soulful energy. ‘New To This’ hits the listener with luscious and sensual energy, framed into a wonky, intriguing instrumental, quite minimal yet immensely groovy and malleable. Scott’s vocals take centre stage, with their evocative yet light character. Frankly, it’s an irresistible record.
Released via Ramrock Blue Records, the track is the perfect summer anthem: carefree, infectious and playful – what more could you want? The accompanying music video gives us a visual reference, echoing pools, palm trees and giant villas.
Clocking in at a mere two minutes, ‘New To This’ might be short, but it’s very impactful. Maxine Scott’s songwriting is extremely relatable and memorable, delivering pungent and flirtatious lyricism with understated innocence. As she explains: “I wrote this song as lockdown was ending and you could go out more. I was meeting new people, vibing with friends and creating cool and fun relationships with musicians and individuals. I started speaking to a guy and it just kind of inspired the track I guess, and it was almost made even more magical since having experiences with people had been so limited.”
