Maira’s Dreamy Indie-Pop Single "Fuzzy" Captures Nostalgia and Girlhood

Brisbane’s rising indie-rock pop artist, Maira, is set to tug at heartstrings with her latest release, "Fuzzy." Known for her signature blend of dreamy melodies, reverb-rich guitars, and evocative lyrics, this 20-year-old artist is carving out a unique place in the music scene, with sounds influenced by girl-rock icons like Beabadoobee and Olivia Rodrigo.

With "Fuzzy," Maira delves into deeply personal themes, exploring the sense of loss that accompanies growing up, particularly through the experience of losing a childhood pet. The track captures the bittersweet feeling of nostalgia, evoking the longing for simpler times. Maira’s talent for storytelling and emotional authenticity shines through, resonating with listeners who understand the tender nature of such memories.

Over the past year, Maira has been fortunate to bring her music to stages and airwaves, supporting some incredible artists and gaining traction in the indie music scene. I kicked things off by opening for Lyric at her sold-out "Every Colour Every Hue" EP launch show on May 12, 2023. More recently, Maira supported Eliza & The Delusionals at The Triffid Beer Garden in Brisbane on September 28, 2024, in an intimate acoustic setting. On November 9, 2024, she joined Annie Hamilton for the Brisbane leg of her "Stop and Smell the Lightning" album tour.

Maira's debut single, "Afterthought", has also made waves beyond the live music scene. It received airtime on Brisbane’s community radio station 4ZZZ and was featured on Grrrl Music’s popular "New Music Friday" playlist, helping to amplify my sound and connect with new listeners.The single is already making waves in Brisbane, adding to her growing presence in the indie-pop scene.
