TRUE LOVE

Description

After her Choice Music Awards 2019-nominated album 'Bath Time', spectral Irish artist Maija Sofia is back with her second full-length album - 'True Love', which will arrive in September 2023. Leaving Dublin in search of space to create, Sofia moved to the southwest coast of Ireland for inspiration. “It was a time of deep transformation in my life. I left the city and went down to the coast of Cork. For three months, I lived in a 300-year-old former yacht club that is now an artist residency,” she explains. Drawing on themes of reflection and mysticism, True Love shows us how to accept messages from the beyond in order to connect within. “It was the first time I was free to make music without any fear of being heard, the songs became stronger, I was experimenting with my voice in different ways, and the lyrics became more direct, more unconsciously emotional.” True Love also features a range of accomplished Irish musicians who helped bring Maija Sofia's world to life: “To record the songs, I went back for a week to the haunted seaside house with my band - Solamh Kelly on drums and Chris Barry on bass, Méabh McKenna on harp, Ryan Hargadon on saxophone and clarinet, and Ruth Clinton and David Tapley added theremin and pedal steel from a distance.” 'True Love' will be available via TULLE in September 2023.
