Jenny Maybee's newest single, "Like The Sun," out on April 25th, 2025, is like drawing back the drapes when you've spent an entire winter in the dark, warm, eye-opening, unstoppable. One of the most compelling songs from her "Only Love" album, the release serves as a dramatic departure for the genre-hopping artist and a powerful reminder of her knack for combining heartfelt emotion and innovation.
Recorded at the historic Mad Scientist Studios in Sebastopol, CA, "Like The Sun" represents a departure in Maybee's sound. Famed for her sultry, jazz-flecked vocals and soulful approach, she now dives boldly into more contemporary pop waters, merging electronic textures and retro-funk grooves with precision and heart. The result is an irresistibly danceable track from and of the moment, right in that sweet spot between vintage-soaked soul down-home comfort and forward-shifting sparkle. "Like The Sun" doesn't disappoint from the first beat, built on a radiant synth line, rhythmic funk touches, and soul-steeped harmonies, it unveils a canvas that sounds optimistic and alive without being overly cleaned up. Jenny's silky, emotive, and perfectly human voice crests atop this space like a wave. She doesn't sound so much as shine. There's a kind of clarity in her delivery, as if every note is a personal invitation to feel good again.
The production is polished, though not sterile. Thoughtful electronics processing adds to, rather than clouds, the approachable recording, which displays Maybee's keen ear and artistic sincerity. The song's structure reflects a sunrise. A build into full brightness, rising listeners with each successive verse and chorus.
