Maisie Peters is an up-and-coming British singer and songwriter who has been making waves in the music industry with her unique sound and heartfelt lyrics. Born and raised in West Sussex, England, Peters began writing songs at the tender age of nine and quickly fell in love with the art form. Her debut single, "Place We Were Made," was released in 2017 and caught the attention of many music enthusiasts. The song showcased Peters' distinctive voice and ability to tell a story through her music. Since then, she has released several EPs, including "Dressed Too Nice for a Jacket" and "It's Your Bed Babe, It's Your Funeral," which have further solidified her place in the industry. Peters' music can be described as a unique blend of pop, indie, and folk influences.
She considers the history of the ‘witch’, the archetype of a woman punished for the heresy of rebelling against society’s expectations. “I felt such liberation and freedom in writing this album as ‘the good witch’. I felt empowered, as Maisie Peters the musician, to say the things that Maisie Peters the person wouldn’t be able to express in her real personal life,” she explains. “I sort of went, ‘Well, fuck it then. Let’s lean into the destruction.’ Let’s tell these stories exactly the way I experienced them.”
On Body Better , she dares to showcase post-breakup jealousy at its most superficial and petty, with lyrics like Has she got a better body than mine. Every facet of The Good Witch is pitched perfectly alongside the others, making for a jewel of a pop record that throws prisms of technicolour fun onto every nearby surface.
Peters' music can be described as a unique blend of pop, indie, and folk influences. She often incorporates acoustic guitar and piano into her songs, creating a raw and intimate atmosphere. Her lyrics are honest and relatable, often exploring themes of love, longing, and self-discovery.
Concert Review: Maisie Peters - The Good Witch Tour
If you don't know who Maisie Peters is, you should. I desperately wanted to see this show ever since I listened to her latest album, "The Good Witch" (which I reviewed right here). Unfortunately, the closest show to me was over 3 hours away in Columbus, Ohio and was sold out for months. Then, the luckiest, craziest thing happened to me. I just happened to check on Ticketmaster the day before the show, and there were tickets available! So, of course, I bought them; and just like that I was going to go see Maisie Peters within the next 24 hours. The day of the show, me and my fiancé woke up early and drove almost 4 hours from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to The Bluestone in Columbus, Ohio.
The Bluestone is a gothic style church that was converted into an event venue; and lets just say, it matched the aesthetic of "The Good Witch" perfectly. When we first got there, we sat in the car for a while and across the lot was Maisie's 12 bed tour bus. When we were the only ones left in the lot, to our shock and surprise, we actually saw Maisie leaving the bus to walk into the venue; I could've totally said hi but honestly I didn't know if she knew we were there and I didn't want to scare her. We waited outside for about another 4 hours to make sure we could get close since the tickets were general admission. 1,000 people crammed into the venue; and I won't like, we were packed like sardines! I swear I've never sweat so much in my entire life, but it was worth it. If you love Taylor Swift, you'll love Maisie Peters and it's clear that the fanbases collide. While we were waiting for the show to begin, there were three Taylor Swift songs that had played over the speakers. Have you ever heard a room of 1,000 people all collectively do Karaoke together? Well I did, and it was such a cool experience.
“It’s such a privilege to be able to work closely with and learn from somebody like Ed Sheeran.”
It is this authenticity that has resonated with listeners and garnered her a loyal fan base. One of Peters' most popular songs, "Stay Young," talks about the fear of growing up and losing touch with one's inner child. The track showcases her storytelling abilities and beautifully captures the universal struggle of holding onto innocence in a world that demands maturity. Another standout track, "The List," explores the complexities of relationships and the uncertain nature of love. With its catchy melody and emotive lyrics, the song has struck a chord with many listeners who have experienced the ups and downs of romance. Despite her undeniable talent and success, Peters remains down-to-earth and humble. She often interacts with fans on social media and has been commended for her genuine and kind demeanor. In addition to her solo work, Peters has collaborated with several other artists, including James Bay and JP Saxe. These collaborations have allowed her to showcase her versatility as an artist and expand her musical horizons. With her unique sound and heartfelt lyrics, Maisie Peters continues to captivate audiences and establish herself as a rising star in the music industry. Her ability to tell meaningful stories through her music sets her apart from other artists and promises an exciting future ahead. As she continues to grow and develop as an artist, it's clear that Maisie Peters has a bright career ahead of her as the industry's good qitch..
Reviews for "Why Maisie Peters' The Good Witch Resonates with Fans Worldwide"
- John Doe - 2 stars - While I understand Maisie Peters' attempt to create a retro-inspired sound, "The Good Witch" fell flat for me. The production felt overdone and overwhelming, causing the lyrics to get lost in the mix. Additionally, the melodies lacked originality and failed to grab my attention. Overall, I found this album to be highly forgettable and not worth revisiting.
- Jane Smith - 1 star - "The Good Witch" by Maisie Peters was a huge disappointment. The songs lacked depth and felt superficial, almost like they were written for a tween drama series. The overly sweet and simplistic lyrics made me cringe rather than feel any emotional connection. Sadly, this album failed to live up to the hype and left me wanting more substance.
- Mark Thompson - 2.5 stars - While Maisie Peters has undeniable talent and a unique voice, "The Good Witch" didn't showcase it as effectively as I had hoped. The production felt too polished and generic, taking away from the rawness and authenticity that I love about Peters' previous work. The songwriting, while catchy at times, lacked the depth and complexity that I was expecting. Overall, this album fell short of my expectations and left me wanting more from Peters.
