Standing at the crossroads of experimental music and neo-classical composition, Portland-based artist Mary Knoblock has earned a reputation as a pioneering figure. Blending electronica, jazz and classical styles, Mary has crafted a highly original sound that’s musically compelling as well as serving as a rallying cry for women in music. As the founder of Produced by a Girl, she’s created a platform that empowers female producers and artists, taking steps to reshape the music industry in a more equitable mould.
Produced by a Girl is a movement designed to amplify women’s voices in areas ranging from sync licensing to distribution and publishing, with Mary’s work as the CEO of both Produced by a Girl Records and Aurally Records speaking to her mission to open doors for underrepresented talent. Her advocacy is matched by her own remarkable artistic output, making her a groundbreaking creative both behind the scenes and in the spotlight.
Mary’s solo artistic journey began in 2016 with the release of her debut album Elevate and over the past eight years, she’s consistently showcased her creativity, producing an impressive catalogue of singles, EPs and full-length records. This year she’s shown no signs of slowing down, revealing her prolific creativity by releasing a further two LPs and now she brings us her latest outing with her brand new single titled “Excuse Me While I Go Fall in Love.”
The new track opens a new window into Mary’s innovative style, marrying airy, ethereal textures with a slick, uptempo energy. Written as a prelude to her beloved album Halo, Mary describes the single as a heartfelt dedication to her fans, lovingly referred to as ‘her dreamers.’ Offering the first taste of her next upcoming record, set to drop next year, “Excuse Me While I Go Fall in Love” serves up the latest slice of her atmospheric, avant-garde pop sound.
Launching with a driving beat of rattling percussive shots, the track injects instant energy as Mary’s floating vocalisations drift above. With an arrangement packed full of hazy vibes and sweeping synth tones, the contrast between the crisp drums and her dreamy vocal performance forges an engaging sound as the delicate melodies hover through the invigorating soundscape.
At once energising and mesmeric, “Excuse Me While I Go Fall in Love” sees Mary Knoblock deliver a hypnotic listening experience unlike anything else. With her new album on the horizon, we can’t wait to see what this exciting artist has in store next on her thrilling exploration of the fringes of experimental pop music.
