Maiah Wynne has today shared her new single ‘Another Step’, taken from the highly anticipated new album Into The Waves. ‘Another Step’ features American musician Dan Avidan on backing vocals and the guitar work of Rush legend and Maiah’s Envy Of None bandmate Alex Lifeson. Speaking about the track and the collaborative elements, Maiah shared –
"There are some wonderful people featured on this song. Dan Avidan was kind enough to add some backing vocals to the track. Alex Lifeson somehow managed to record some guitar parts while on the road with Rush, which made it even more special that he found the time to add a little magic. The talented Randy Cooke tracked the drums and Brooks Berg filled out the guitars on the verses and choruses to make the whole track feel fuller. Having to make this album while on the road was made much easier with talented people sending me tracks for the songs. Justin Abel mixed the song and brought everything together. He really helped this album feel cohesive and glued all the pieces together."
Join us for a special evening with Maiah Wynne as she celebrates the release of her new album, Into The Waves, with an intimate live performance at Piano Smithfield, London.

“I wrote "See the Water" in a handful of minutes when I was 16. I had just been gifted a dulcimer and found my hands quickly dancing around a folky melody in D minor. What came out was the manifestation of my inner critic. That voice inside my head that always told me I wasn't enough, no matter how hard I tried. I decided to create a character out of her to represent the feeling of being hunted and haunted by that voice everywhere I went. The imagery of water and drowning in those feelings kept coming up and in a moment of quick inspiration, the song came out fully formed and has only changed slightly in the years since. It's nice to finally have a studio version of it out in the world close to how I always pictured it in my head.” - Maiah Wynne
Written, self-produced and largely recorded by Wynne during an exceptionally transformative period in her life, Into the Waves was created between her first international tour, a move across the world, returning to education, and building a new life after years of isolation. Many of the recordings were captured on the road in hotel rooms using nothing more than a laptop, with Wynne playing more than a dozen instruments across the album. The project was completed with mixing and additional production from Justin Abel (Noelle Johnson, The Talbott Brothers) before being mastered by Alan Douches (Sufjan Stevens, Motörhead, LCD Soundsystem).
Into The Waves features an impressive cast of collaborators, including cellist Bethany Joyce, violinist Avelyn Reynolds, guitarist Brooks Berg, drummers Adam Brzycki and Randy Cooke, flugelhorn player Henry Sheppard, and Rush legend Alex Lifeson, whose guest guitar appearance further strengthens the connection between Wynne's solo work and her role as vocalist with Envy of None.
Speaking to Rolling Stone, Lifeson remarked: “I’ve never had that kind of inspiration working with another musician.”
