Maryze - 8 ((CD))

Maryze is a queer bilingual singer-songwriter based in Montreal. Her stormy-sweet alt pop conjures a haunting universe, blending electronic beats with fiery, introspective lyrics on mental health, feminism, and sexuality. 8, Maryze's debut album from upstart Montreal label Hot Tramp, explores the interconnected parts of our past that shape our lives for the better or worse. Like the infinite looping of the number 8, the album observes how we repeat cycles and exist within pre-written narratives. Can we cut loose from toxic histories knotted tightly within us while still honouring our ancestors? How do our coping mechanisms protect us and how do they hold us back, rooting us to events we wish to grow away from? Maryze weaves together songs with themes of inter-generational family trauma, mental illness, identity, sexuality, forgiveness, and acceptance, performed in both English and French. Teaming up with other queer artists, and debuting her first self-produced tracks, she experiments with influences and genres, from emo and hyperpop to Celtic folk. Offering both maximalist electronic production and stripped-down ballads, 8 introduces Maryze's modern electronic alt-pop, calling listeners to consider the roots and knots that exist within each of us.
