An incredibly nuanced and intricate record, ‘The Nothing But The Sun’ EP is exactly what today’s lazy, rainy Friday afternoon calls for. Don’t get us wrong, this is not in any way background material – rather, the EP is a luscious, elegant slice of eclectic artistry, delivered with heartwarming energy by the creative mind of Maisie B.
Hailing from Adelaide, Australia, the talented musician and singer boasts a long career in performing arts and has become a staple of her local scene. Blending soulful jazz stylings with intimate folk tones, Maisie B. manages to craft a sound that’s intimate, authentic, yet vibrant and ethereal. Over five wonderful tracks (including the shorter intro ‘Overture’), ‘The Nothing But The Sun’ takes the listeners through a stream of light drum grooves, sax and horns goodness and the most majestic grand piano. Electronic textures enrich the record from time to time.
Speaking about the inspiration behind her music, Maisie explains: “The central theme of the EP is the complexities of relationships, from the heartache of being let down (“Pull the Rug”) to the nuanced emotions of love and personal growth (“The River”).
