After spending much of the last few months building and cultivating her sound, London-based newcomer Maya Aruna is now looking to present herself to the wider world with the release of her sultry debut single 'desi gurl'.
Capturing a wonderfully warm and alluring alt-R&B aesthetic for her initial offering, 'desi gurl' makes for a beautifully passionate introduction to her sound so far. With her sweet and emotive vocal performance layered across a woozy production from start to finish, she is kicking things off with a brilliantly rich and inviting opening number here.
While it may be her only piece of material to date, 'desi gurl' shows that she is developing a beautifully spellbinding direction to call her own. With such a strong and confident grasp over her style already, we can't wait to hear what else she has in store for us in the months ahead as well.
