Maisie Peters
18th October 2023

Maisie’s music carries the hallmarks of mainstream pop. She’s not one to waste time making swirling, dense folk music, as beautiful as it may be. Instead, she finds a pleasant middle ground: something that feels and sounds organic, but with the lyrics and melodic movements of a conventional, charttopping star. Or at least what one looks like nowadays. Over the past few years, what Maisie calls “warm pop” has proved popular with people seeking out catchy music imbued with feeling. She follows in the footsteps of stars like Ed Sheeran and Adele who’ve proved that songs about our emotions, or even just the little things in life, are welcome in a space that was once reserved for colder, electronic, balls-to-the-wall party pop. In fact, what Maisie’s making feels a little timeless: kind-hearted, serendipitous acoustic pop music; the kind that turned Taylor Swift (one of her idols) from a modest artist into an international star.
