Confronting the raw and often uncomfortable truths of life with her rock-edged indie pop cuts, Mary Middlefield finds catharsis in creativity. As a classically trained violinist since the age of five, the London-based musician defies the lines of genres as she explores the full spectrum of emotional experience. Middlefield’s debut album, 2023’s Thank You Alexander, introduced a forward-thinking musician with fearlessness and a natural knack for vulnerability. The artist’s star continued to rise on the 2024 follow-up, Poetry (for the scorned and lonely), an eight-song look into just how far Middlefield is willing to stretch the limits of pop.
Now, Middlefield looks to the future, as she prepares Will You Take Me As I Am?, her third LP. With a release date set for March 6, the ethereal, moving “Milk” is our latest preview of the anticipated release. Middlefield’s latest offering is a cinematic one, brimming with romance, drama, and all dealing with far-too-relatable realities. In her typical fashion, Middlefield refuses to shy away from the harshness of real life, as “Milk” deals with the realization of time being wasted, and watching all that you’ve built crumble. The artist faces the perpetual falling of the sands of time with a poetic flair, detailing these truths with a bluntness cloaked under gorgeous writing. The heady orchestration only emphasizes the delicate nature of Middlefield’s writing, as the strings and brass weave around the vocals to add even more depth to “Milk.” Middlefield’s third LP is right around the corner, and the latest single is hinting at a creative breakthrough from an exhilarating talent.
