Maya Abee

Coming off of her self released Divine EP from the Spring of 2022, Maya Abee takes a dive into the more surrealist stratum of her dream-folk realm with the forthcoming track “Dreaming”. Produced by collaborator Corey Gordon, “Dreaming” provides an addictive head-bobbing energy and psychedelic soundscape in an allegorical rock arrangement. Abee’s 90’s influence is apparent in her raw and honest vocal delivery through a somewhat-sleepy nonchalance. The single’s guitar line — credited to the artist Gambee— latches into the subconscious like an intrusive thought as Abee sings of lucid dreams and haunted desires. The playful track coming in at just under 3 minutes, reveals Abee’s ability to blur time and space both lyrically and sonically — some sections echo a dream, shifting into REM sleep, or tossing and turning under the covers. An unconventional love song, “Dreaming” sings to a fictitious lover, figure, entity without identity, only to be seen with her eyes closed.
