Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Maidin Releases Debut Song “Celestial Body”
- American singer-songwriter Maidin released her debut song “Celestial Body” on March 11, 2022 via Siri Music Group.
It was written by Maidin and produced by Aire and Hanan Rubinstein.
The song draws a love that's just out of reach and a longing to be with someone that you ultimately can't have.
Maidin said of the song, “The first idea for 'Celestial Body' came to me on a beach in July, when the moon was out in the middle of the day. It's a really unsettling thing to see, as I'm sure most people know. I started thinking of the image of a “celestial body” to represent somebody who I would've liked to be close with, but this person was keeping me at a distance. A celestial body is something beautiful, that you can admire and love from far away, but you can't ever reach. Melodically and musically, the song seemed to come out of thin air.” - Maidin is New Jersey born and bred. She took her name to mean morning in Irish Gaelic.
Drawing influences from the likes of songwriting powerhouses Joni Mitchell and Dolly Parton, along with experimental pop musicians St. Vincent and Sylvan Esso, Maidin aims to create music that captures the vivid storytelling of folk music with a fresh and modern alternative pop sound.
She shared on social media, “I always knew I was put on this earth, whether by happenstance or by design, to make music. Part of me never thought anyone would ever hear what I write, because that was never what music was about for me. But now probably at least one person is going to hear a song that I wrote. It feels strange, but at the same time it feels like I’ve arrived at a place I’ve always been heading towards. And I can’t wait to keep going.” - source : Apple Music
