WHAT THE ARTIST SAYS ABOUT THIS SONG:
“The song’s lyrics have a double meaning and describe how it is living with anxiety and describes it as being stuck in a ‘Maze’ where you can’t find your way out. Like a maze, sometimes you take a wrong turn and hit a wall and you have to go back to find the right way out. But eventually, you will get out with a lot of hard repeated work.”
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
The Icelandic upcomer VALDIS emerges into the pop world bringing interesting sounds and femininity to the musical landscape. Her music is best described as contemporary pop mixed with textural sounds, deep basslines, and rhythmic drums. Born and raised in the small town of Sauðárkrókur, Iceland, VALDIS taught herself to sing at the age of 9, whilst also receiving guidance from great vocal coaches who taught her techniques to control her voice. Later she graduated from Complete Vocal Institute in Denmark following her dream of becoming a singer. In this time span, she has appeared in Icelandic singing competitions where she has won and gotten attention for her voice. In early 2020, VALDIS started showing interest in releasing her own songs. Her songwriting is heavily influenced by past life experiences with the likes of anxiety, broken friendships, love, and everything in between. Her lyrics capture a very authentic and vulnerable feel to them so most people can relate to them in one way or another.
