Having already impacted the Canadian music with her band, Motel Raphael, Montreal singer-songwriter Maya Malkin is now launching her solo musical project with the single Hostage.
Hostage is a short-but-punchy piece of powerful alternative pop about the dissatisfaction that can come from a relationship that doesn’t exhibit a sense of equality, where one person feels the other brings more negativity than reassurance to the relationship. Malkin's vocal delivery is assured and has plenty of pop-polish, and yet still ultimately manages to feel grounded, honest and human. With production details that accentuate and enhance the performance, I couldn't help but fall for Hostage.
