Iconic artists need just one name. Think Madonna, Prince, Beyonce, and Cher. Now we have a new name to the list: Maja. This Serbian-born, Melbourne-based chanteuse might be far from a household name yet, but her new single “Wake Up and Find” shows she’s got the talent to get there.
The tone of Maja’s voice is exquisite. I also love this song’s retro feel. There’s a really intriguing blend of surf rock, country, jazz, and soul that strangely works here.
“Wake Up and Find” comes from Maja’s EP Still Bleeding, which drops on August 4.
Maja will play Bar 303 in Northcote on July 30. She’s also planning some intimate shows across the country in September to support her EP’s release.
