Maisie Peters got her pop-star start early, writing her first song when she was nine years old. But her hooky, intimate songs reveal a wisdom beyond her years—not just in terms of her songwriting ability, but thematically. Her sparkling 2018 breakout hit “Worst of You” is full of crystalline details that ground her heartbreak in a specific moment, while her 2019 single “Stay Young” adds gently effervescent beats to the mix. Peters’ lyrically dense, sonically light songs are ear candy with depth and showcase a talent with limitless potential.
