London-Born Artist Brings a Dreamlike Soundscape to 2025
Acclaimed singer-songwriter Maija (pronounced “Maya”) is set to enchant audiences once again with the release of her latest album, Broken Kiss, under Crazy Moon Records. Originally from London, England, Maija has been captivating listeners with her powerful voice and emotional depth since she began singing and recording at the age of nine. Now residing in the Washington, D.C. area, the artist presents a carefully curated compilation of songs that have been years in the making.
Unlike many of her previous albums, Broken Kiss features only one non-English track, “Abrázame,” while the rest of the songs are delivered in her signature English vocals. The album showcases the talents of some of the finest musicians from the DMV (D.C., Maryland, Virginia) and New York, bringing a polished yet heartfelt feel to the production.
Maija takes the lead in songwriting with compositions such as “Let’s Keep This a Secret” and “Lonely Old Man in the Moon,” blending her poignant lyrics with melodic storytelling. Her longtime pianist, Wayne Wilentz, crafted the harmonic arrangements, creating a rich, immersive listening experience. These songs were meticulously recorded at Bias Studio in Springfield, VA, and Gizmo Recording Company in Silver Spring, MD, with the final mastering handled by the esteemed Greg Lukens.
An Album That Hypnotizes and Inspires
Music critic Mr. Benjamins of This Is Hip Hop HQ had high praise for Maija’s work, calling Broken Kiss “an absolutely beautiful album that instantly transports the listener into a hypnotic and serene state.” Highlighting her impeccable vocal delivery, he commended the way she seamlessly weaves passion and emotion into every note.
“This album carries a deeply reflective quality, drawing listeners into an introspective journey,” said Benjamins. “Its soothing energy and dreamlike vibe create an immersive experience that stays with you long after the final note. Without a doubt, it’s a solid 10/10.”
With Broken Kiss, Maija continues to establish herself as a compelling voice in contemporary music, blending haunting melodies with lyrical storytelling that resonates on a profound level. The album is now available on all major streaming platforms, promising listeners a mesmerizing journey through love, longing, and self-discovery.
