Newcastle-under-Lyme-based alternative pop artist Mara Liddle channels her own personal journey and experiences into a unique and compelling sound. Through her music, she explores the complex nature of relationships, the bittersweet transition from the comforts of childhood and the exhilarating path to independence.
Her ability to translate these universal experiences into her art has quickly earned her a dedicated following and critical acclaim. Securing extensive radio support and a nomination for Song of the Year by Future Hits Radio last year, Mara has performed across the UK, including festival headlines and a crowd of 400 when opening for The Lottery Winners at Keele SU.
Drawing inspiration from artists like Charli XCX, PinkPantheress and Shygirl, Mara stitches a sonic fabric that mirrors the experiences of a young woman finding her way in the digitally-influenced world. Making her artistic entrance last year with her debut single “Twist The Knife” with UK trip hop artist Say, she’s since dropped multiple singles and her first EP, STALEMATE, released last November.
Now she’s back to follow up her well-received EP with her brand new single titled “girl of your dreams,” serving up another dose of her shimmering alternative pop sound. Upon finding out that a passing acquaintance was attracted to her, Mara found herself questioning whether their limited interactions were enough to warrant the feelings or if they’d perhaps formed their own fantasy in their mind.
In reflection, she penned her latest single to express her thoughts on the situation and deliver another slice of her dance-focused pop output. Linking up with producer JB Thomas to create the song, “girl of your dreams” has already become a high-octane fan-favourite at Mara’s live shows.
Crafting a vibrant electronic pop anthem, delicately processed vocals float above the snapping beat as colourful dashes of synth tones flutter around her voice to form an instantly catchy jam full of memorable vocal hooks and energising rhythm. Following up her EP with a superb pop outing that showcases the wide appeal of Mara Liddle’s as well as her cutting edge alternative pop style, “girl of your dreams” serves up a playful experience. Brimming with infectious writing and slick ebb and flow, it’s a charming new track from this exciting artist on the rise.
