Singer-songwriter Lily DeTaeye welcomes you to the hushed heartache of love lost with her new release "Maybe It's November," which serves as the lead single off her upcoming live album, "Studio 3 Live From PBS Iowa." The song nails the weary beauty of late-autumn reflection, where the chill in the air echoes the coldness that comes with love that's gone bad.
With her Des Moines-based combo, Chris Hansen on drums, Steph Graham on bass, and Bryan Vanderpool on guitar, he also mixed and mastered, she walks that tightrope of gloom and tuneful service. The result is a song both intimate and universal, and you can practically feel the fog gathering around her words, but each line rings out like a reflection of your own life. "Maybe It's November" hangs in the space between resignation and reflection. The honesty calmly describes the depths of attempting to make sense out of grief.
DeTaeye simply delivers the emotion with starkness and restraint, parceling out her pain to let you feel its weight without crushing yourself in it. "Studio 3 Live From PBS Iowa" will be issued on vinyl only on October 24 via Midtopia's Buy Before You Stream campaign, followed by a wide digital release on November 21. With "Maybe It's November," Lily DeTaeye has shown that sometimes heartbreak is its most beautiful left untrimmed, unglossed, and unapologetically honest.
