(March 13, 2025) - New York City-based producer, songwriter, and vocalist Maiya Blaney shares her new single “Fumbled” via Lex Records. The new song was co-produced with Emerson Fossett and Harlan Steed of Show Me The Body alongside Blaney herself. “Fumbled” arrives paired with the captivating and high energy visuals directed by Fiona Kane shot through the streets and shadows of New York City. “Fumbled” marks the first taste of a new project Blaney is gearing up to release with Lex Records later this year.
Speaking about “Fumbled,” Blaney shares, "’Fumbled’ came to be in the most off handed of ways. It was really more of an experiment than anything – we wanted jungle and punk to have a sweet little wailing baby.
Everyone was really on board to just try stuff out. Natalia Catalan got the bass line in like 2 takes, Harlan is just pulling pedals and modulators off of shelves left and right, and then Andrew Tassin played this call and response thing on the kit in the same bpm as the programmed drums and my jaw was on the floor. It was really a playground.
Fiona and I got the idea for the video from this hero sim running through the city and from there it became our own super 8 video game."
Since 2019, Blaney has been releasing music lacquered with emotion. 2021 saw the release of her album 3, which meditated on neo-soul and R&B sonics. With her new material, Blaney fully dives into her unsavory feelings of anxiety and unease, creating a tumultuous and intricate sound where drum n bass weaves with droning guitars, blips of glitch ping pong against grating synth, and Blaney’s vocals range from searing punk exclamations to gentle, exploratory croons.
