Mae Stephens returns with Securely Insecure EP via Mercury Records, listen HERE.
Securely Insecure EP includes the new single “You Don’t Remember Me”, a raw and emotional retelling of the scars left behind from Mae’s experience of bullying; the feeling of being scared and hurt, enduring pain and constant judgement.
Mae Stephens comments on the new EP, “Securely Insecure delves into profound themes of identity, trauma and self-discovery. It encapsulates the desire to break free from the confines of judgmental communities, bravely confronts the scars of past trauma and navigates the complexities of imposter syndrome. These tracks offer a powerful narrative of human vulnerability and the universal search for authenticity amidst life’s challenges.”
In addition to “You Don’t Remember Me”, the new EP also includes previously released “Small Town Syndrome”, as well as new music “Stranger”, and a cover of “Use Somebody” from Kings of Leon.
It was only a year ago that Mae Stephens was finding solace and sanctuary in her music-making between working shifts at her local Asda. A songwriter since the age of twelve, she had used music to guide her through the hardships of teenage life and her own mental health journey, pouring her heart out in emotional, impactful songs penned on her nan’s old piano. The target of cruel bullying, Mae’s school years were far from easy, with her at first picked on for being the “loud, quirky kid” – but with the icon Freddie Mercury as one of her biggest musical influences, Mae is on a journey of embracing what makes her unique and learning not to care about other people’s opinions. In Mae Stephens, Gen Z has found a new champion; she’s ready to use her voice to help others and provide the same kind of sanctuary in her music that it gave her while making it. Mae Stephens is poised to own 2024.
