UBO MAG

By Aaris A. Schroeder Editor-In-Chief London-born and Los Angeles-living, singer-songwriter Maia Zakay’s music rings true with her melodic pop sounds in her new album, “#Speakup” which bounce emotion off every surface and into the hearts of her fans, proving that she is a new artist worth listening to in 2021. Drawn from artists like Arianna Grande with her R&B and sweet pop vibe, Kehlani whose music has a more Hip Hop edge mixed in and even the indie singer-songwriter Americana vibe of Lana Del Rey are present in Maia Zakay’s music, proving that her sound can take it to the next level. Looking like a true beach girl, this blonde bombshell brings a more acoustic almost mermaid-like ambiance to her music with tracks like “Difficult” and “Winter Things” and is able to bring the same lovely energy into studio-produced beats and drum machines like on, “Rest In Power” and “Never Know” that features singer and rapper J Drip.

Maia Zakay got her start singing at the young age of three and performing music when she was only 14-years-old; getting her start two years later in the music industry when she was 16-years-old (2018). Maia Zakay began recording music in response to a dark time in her life, she found comfort in the writing and recording process which led her to produce her first album in 2020 entitled, “#SpeakUp,” produced by Stephan Oberhoff who has worked with artists like Barbara Streisand, Quincy Jones and more. “Let Me Love You” and “Train Wreck” are emotional songs that of course, are self-written by herself, just as the rest of Maia Zakay’s album showcases. “Trainwreck” is soaked up with feelings of being lost and trying to find the right direction in your life. “Let Me Love You” is going to sound familiar as it is a chart-hitting song by R&B artist Mario. Maia Zakay sound so clean on this, her soft voice blending with the sweet melody so well that the two should re-release it as a collaboration effort. Maia Zakay’s album, “#Speakup” is definitely going in my personal music catalog and hopefully yours too!

Young Maia Zakay has collaborated with Todd Sams who is an industry go-to working with artists like Beyonce, Rihanna, Frankie J, Mario and Toni Braxton for anything from music videos to live performances, choreography (with Usher!) and licensing work in commercials for artists.
