After finding success with her band Motel Raphael, Montréal-based Canadian singer-songwriter Maya Malkin is now launching her solo career. “Hostage”, thus, comes as her debut single and one that most indie-pop fans should find delightful. The song carries honest lyrics and vulnerable vocals. It’s so catchy and easy to sing along to.

As part of Motel Raphael band, Maya released two albums, played at the big stage (such as SXSW) and even toured Canada twice. Her new endeavour will definitely take her much further.
