Melbourne singer MAYA is back, this time with a new video for the HAXX rework of impressive debut single ‘Sinners’. We originally premiered the slinky and soulful original a couple of months ago, and the rework changes the formula significantly, slowing things down a little and painting in the margins of MAYA’s smooth vox with restrained strings and skittering percussion.
The beautiful accompanying clip is described by MAYA as a “display of brooding fierceness, sexual chaos and liberation,” with each shot intended to convey the feelings Maya experienced dealing with “hypocrisy in relationships.” It’s hard to argue with that, as she bosses throughout abandoned streets in one hell of a coat.
If you like what you hear, you’ll have plenty of chances to catch MAYA throughout the rest of the year, as she’ll be playing a two-month residency in St. Kilda in addition to a couple of one-off gigs, dates below.
