She is very careful and originative with her music and that’s why we love it.
WHAT THE ARTIST SAYS ABOUT THIS SONG:
“Like a lot of girls, I struggled with friends and fall outs at school – kids are so mean, because they don’t understand the implications of their actions. I spent many nights crying in bed because I didn’t want to go to school the next day. My mum supported me through these tough nights and would always say “just wait and see til the morning, everything seems so much worse at night, a little morning sunlight through the window will make everything seem better”.
‘Wait and see’ is ultimately a song about hope, and that most things are never as bad as they seem at the time.”
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Mabes, an English singer/songwriter from Essex, first picked up the guitar aged 15 and started playing at venues in her hometown of Billericay. Taking influences from artists like Laura Marling, John Mayer, Kasey Musgraves, Billy Joel, and Bon Iver, Mabes prides herself on her true, honest lyrics and folk-country sound.
With a strong desire to perform at a young age and after meticulously planned sitting room renditions of classic pop hits at the family home, a young Mabes was quickly whisked off to Sylvia Young’s Theatre School. Though surprisingly, Sylvia Young awoke in Mabes a desire not for the drama of the stage but rather the quiet, contemplative art of songwriting. “I guess doing the singing lessons there I was always the one that preferred my own covers of music rather than the musical theatre focus of the school. So then I decided I wanted to play the guitar and I began writing songs in my bedroom”.
