Stream the new single “Starsick”
Maude has spent the past year translating her own philosophies and political ideals into a musical universe interspersed with themes of transcendence, religion, and love for her best friend.
Today, Maude shares her new single, “Starsick.” The infectious technicolor pop song produced by Alexander 23 filters whimsical chiptune inflections, silky vocal harmonies, and an indelible groove through a vibrant effervescence.
“Starsick” is the third single in Maude’s sonic story following “Plans” and “Superfruit.” In “Plans,” Maude trills animatedly over an ethereal soundscape, mid-tempo clunking drums, and phantasmagoric digital flourishes. Her aesthetic is at once playfully nostalgic and brilliantly forward-thinking.
“”Starsick” is everything I have ever tried to say. This song is the epitome of who I am and what I am looking for. I have never loved a song of mine more. I am so scared and excited to put it out into the world…This song is my bible; it is everything to me.”
