MARIS – “False Idol”

Hailing from Montana as, this singer and songwriter finds music to be an integral part of who she is. She’s always honing her craft, from posting covers on social media to touring with Postmodern Jukebox and auditioning for American Idol. Inspired by Frank Sinatra, Donny Hathaway and Etta James, she debuted with “Heavenly Bodies” in 2022 and is opening for Anna Of The North this spring.

While she’s influenced by big band, classic soul and jazz, her new single shows off her broad musical versatility by dousing it in rich 80s cinematic synthpop. Taken from her upcoming debut EP “Gravity”, expected in April, she sings about giving a lover an idol-status they can’t live up to. With an insatiable beat, glowing guitars and her neon-dipped vocals, there’s nothing false about this lively jam.
