Many music videos seem to blend into one nowadays, but with her debut music video“Everything” ft Karin Park – a noir tale of ornithological obsession directed by Thomas Knights – Maya enjoyed over 200,000+ Youtube views in little over a month!
The video proved controversial for some; due to the scenes of taxidermy performed by London based artist/taxidermist - Harriet Horton. Even a “safe” censored version of the track was deemed too graphic by some global broadcasters!
“Everything” didn't set out to cause controversy though; it just kind of did, and with Maya reunited with director Thomas Knights [who also appears on her debut album “Comfort' as a guest vocalist on the downtempo “When I'm In Love”] it will be interesting to see what people make of their second video outing together “Burning Bright”.
The video to “Burning Bright” takes place in a church with Maya Jane Coles and Kim Ann Foxman assuming the leads in a story of life and death, left open for the viewer to interpret as they see fit.
The video premiered globally at Rollingstone.com, with “Burning Bright” originally debuting on Maya's recent guest mix on XLR8R's hallowed 300th podcast.
The remixes of "Burning Bright" will be announced soon with club support for Maya's last release “Everything” coming from all corners of the electronic spectrum with spins from the likes of Seth Troxler, Dixon, Sasha and Scuba, through to Rudimental, Disclosure, Steve Aoki and Skream.
“Burning Bright” is taken from Maya's debut album “Comfort”, a personal affair for Maya, reflective of her broader musical influences both in and outside the electronic world, carrying hints and shades of many genres from house, R&B and hip hop through to dub, indie and techno. Indeed “Comfort” also features guest vocals performances from established talents such as Tricky and Miss Kittin alongside rising stars Nadine Shah and Catherine Pockson of Alpines.
So with 16 international magazine front covers to her name, numerous producer/DJ awards, rave album reviews, radio playlistings around the world, top 10 places in the Resident Advisor DJ polls in 2011 & 2012, 30+ countries played in the last 18 months, 10 million You Tube views, 185,000+ Facebook fans, 45,000+ twitter followers and over 4 million plays on Soundcloud; it seems Maya's triumphant run is set to continue a little longer.
