Maeta - 'When I Hear Your Name'

Recommended Posts

I'm surprised this isn't making like ANY noise. She seems to be recent Roc Nation pushed artist. I don't know if anybody remembers, but some months ago (maybe last year even?) I said that a scrapped R9 track was supposed to be released by a new Roc Nation flop, I meant this girl, but it seems to have been taken from the album in the end (I wonder if that means Rih got interested in it again? Doubt it though). But besides that even, the album has really interesting writing credits - there is SZA, KAYTRANADA, Dj Dahi, Lucky Daye, Demi, The-Dream, Kehlani, OG Parker, Ant Clemons and more.. A Rihanna co-write wouldn't even look that out of place. How did she get all of that?

Well, like you said she seems to be the Roc Nation label’s priority act at the moment. They’re a publishing company too with connections to great songwriters and producers. Which would explain the push she’s getting behind the scenes. Are you in a position to share the scrapped R9song’s title or who worked on it?

Yeah it's indeed not that shocking, I'm just surprised we don't hear about her more. I thought her announcing that tracklist with credits some time ago would spark some interest at least here, but nothing it seems.

 

And yes the title was actually registered some years back I recall, Love Looks Like Us

I thought about making this thread but was like eh. :rip:

 

Anyways, I am liking the album. The credits imply to me that several of these songs might have been presented or worked on by other artists and got scrapped.

 

Through The Night is the standout, but Kissing New People(I hope Demi’s version wasn’t as polished as this cause I don’t know why she wouldn’t do anything with it :rip:) Control Freak and **** Your Friend are really great as well.

Kissing New People is a bop :jonnycat:

 

Someone leak Demi's version if there is any, delete Ty Dolla and make a Maeta X Demi version

From the credits, it’s probably a Dancing with the Devil... the Art of Starting Over reject. Blush who co-wrote 4 songs on that album is a credited songwriter on Kissing New People.

This has actually kinda evolved into one of my favorite albums of the year, minus Anybody(sorry SZA!) and somewhat ASMR. :jonny: 
 

I’m gonna get her tour tickets I guess since she is a good live singer.

I wanted to like it more. there's a few standouts and the vibe is cute, but overall it's pretty forgettable. :/

This album is actually pretty great? Obviously she doesn't have anything to say as an artist (which is almost a prerequisite if you want to be a successful female R&B singer) considering these are mostly all rejects but ummm her voice is beautiful?:jonny6:

 

I'll be on the lookout for new music

her voice is one that's even better in a live setting so this is a lovely addition

That live version of “**** Your Friend” is clearing. :jonny: She’s such an excellent singer.
