As we have been intently following the unveiling of superstar Jenny Maybee‘s upcoming album, Only Love, as soon as we realized that she had released Like The Sun we couldn’t wait to immerse ourselves once more in her universe and share our experience!
Setting the tone with an almost astral, trip-hop energy with futrustic sound design nuances and an innate sense of dimensionality, Jenny Maybee opens Like The Sun with the words, “I feel something new, something real, I hold it lightly in my heart, search until I find you, wrap myself around you, won’t give up till I’m through…”
The opus expands with Jenny’s delicate timbre and a cinematic soundscape that feels genre expansive, but cohesive to the rising artist’s sound and conscious energy. Her energy on the track is assertive, and symbolic, it really does feel like an important track on the record, which is rooted in the concept of love.
In essence, Like The Sun is about Jenny’s profound and transformative experience of falling in love, but it also feels more universal than that. An ode to spirit and oneness, the “ra” energy that radiates through all of us as humanity.
The narrative compares love to a long journey through loneliness, and ends in a deep connection with someone who truly understands you. The repeated hook “your eyes are like the sun” emphasizes a notion of warmth, awakening, and emotional illumination. Jenny expresses a yearning to give and receive love fully, and without restraint. Once again the track was recorded at The Mad Scientist Studios with her long term producer, Isha.
Speaking on Like The Sun in the context of the album, Jenny says, “This track marks a shift in the album’s arc – the moment where light breaks through. It’s a celebration of recognition, joy, and the kind of connection that doesn’t just warm you, it lights you up. After so much longing and reflection, Like the Sun bursts in with rhythm, groove, and radiant clarity. It’s the moment when your body moves before your brain catches up. Love without the ache. Just YES.”
We always apprecaite the depth that Jenny Maybee goes into with her music. She is a true artist, and naturally we are excited about the record – most of which is already online, so get streaming! We have added Like The Sun to our New Music Spotlight playlist and our TIMELESS and TRIPPY playlists, whilst we continue to listen to the previous songs we have covered, including Holy Holy, Love Let Me In, and On My Way.
