NEW ALBUM RELEASE – Maisie Peters ‘Good Witch (Deluxe)’
12 November 2023
It has only been a few months since her last album release, ‘Silly Me’, a five-tracked journey of self-discovery and catchy guitar riffs, but Izzy has already given us more of what we wanted, releasing another new single, entitled ‘Refuse’.
Izzy’s creative style explores the genres of pop rock, soft punk, and indie, completely encapsulated in this song, with a heavy guitar and drums in the chorus and angsty lyrics inciting lots of energy throughout. This song is about a tumultuous relationship in which Izzy expresses what she could do next to preserve a relationship without breaking the rules of a casual relationship. Interestingly, this is written from a future perspective, attempting to navigate and make sense of her emotions to ultimately feel a stronger sense of self. Refuse embodies a distinct teenage angsty nostalgia, exploring the journey of heartbreak and inner strength with the underlining message of ‘you are stronger than you think you are.’
Izzy is a true creative, expressing herself freely within the lyrics and visuals of her songs. Most of her songs are conceptualised through poems based on off-the-cuff thoughts based on her life experiences. This really lets her authenticity and eloquent lyricism shine through in her music. Frequently compared to the likes of Alanis Morissette and Avril Lavigne, she also takes influence from artists such as Damien Rice and Mazzy Star to achieve a nostalgic pop rock sound with a modern and innovative twist.
Izzy left school at sixteen to pursue a career in the arts, but the start of the pandemic really brought a start to Izzy’s career in music as she had more time to write new music. Writing is one of her favourite parts of being a musician, but she also loves to let things get chaotic and fun on stage, so make sure you look out for her amazing vibes at the Low Lying Sun, London, on March 21st.
