Mae Powell – Where Will Love Go?

Mae Powell crafts a very special style of sound that really is quite enchanting. For fans of Amy Winehouse and Corinne Bailey Rae, Powell might just be your new favourite soul starlet.

‘Where Will Love Go’ is a beautifully sincere song that speaks of the adjustment we go through mentally when we break up with people who we once shared a life with. The track is melancholic and thoughtful while also carrying an undertone of hopefulness.

“I wrote ‘Where Will Love Go?’ when I was going through a really big break up and moved to the farm where my mom lives to process and figure out what to do next. I was used to putting all of my love and attention into one person, and then when that person was no longer around I felt overwhelmed by all of the love and care that no longer had a place to go. Writing this song helped me figure it out, meditating on all of the different places love can go, and ultimately realizing that I have to give it to myself before I can put it anywhere else. This song feels like alchemy to me- using music to turn really difficult emotions into a song I got to record with my best friends and a video that was so fun to make. It’s the first song I’ve ever written on piano, and I got to track the piano for the song which was really exciting for me. During the jam at the end of the song, we were channeling William Onyeabor, especially with the little ace-tone organ line that Mayya (Feygina) wrote. This song now feels like a celebration of love in all its forms, and the knowledge that we will always be okay as long as we keep going.”

Listeners will be pleased to know that Powell releases a new album this Friday, titled ‘Making Room For The Light’ (pre-order here).
