Maisyn is back with her new single, "Nevermind." It is a soulful examination of the maddening cycles of an on-and-off relationship. Drenched in aching vulnerability, it is a raw contemplation of clinging to hope when all signs suggest the opposite.
Pushing the bumbling maturity of someone well past their teenage years, "Nevermind" pulls you into the slow-burn heartbreak that comes with loving someone incapable of sticking around, guided by acoustic guitars that knot themselves together like unresolved feelings and Maisyn's emotive vocals at the helm. "Nevermind" tension builds gradually, mirroring the weary push-and-pull of trying to relight a flame that won't extinguish.
Maisyn's confessional lyricism renders "Nevermind" deeply relatable. "I was in this on-off relationship where I felt crazy," she says. "Every time we reunited, I believed it would work out, even though it had failed so many times. And I was trying to figure out how to convey those delusions with this fucking song." That candidness is palpable, making for a listening experience that resembles a late-night chat with a friend who gets it.
Hovvdy, HAIM, and Gracie Abrams fans will find comfort in "Nevermind" emotionally layered soundscape. Maisyn's vulnerability reminds us of some bittersweet truths we're unwilling to admit to ourselves.
"Nevermind" reminds us of the conscious decision to acknowledge when there isn't much left to stay or go for. With this release, Maisyn proves herself an artist who isn't afraid of the messiness of love "Nevermind" is not to be missed for anyone who's ever had trouble moving on.
