Open a new tab and delicate it to Maina Doe, the rising Sydney-based artist that I’d like to introduce. The singer released a new single called “LET HER BE” last Friday (and we added the song as part of our weekly update on the New Release Friday playlist).

This R&B track is sultry and upbeat, with Doe’s exuberant delivery representing the carefree energy expressed in the lyrics.

“LET HER BE” captures the image of a young girl who sometimes feels inhibited by society’s expectations.

“I imagine the multitude of walls she has as a defence to protect her freedom from prying, judging eyes. I imagine someone trying to get close to her, only to realise that you may never really know her,” Maina Doe reveals.

With her undeniable talents, it’s just a matter of time before Maina Doe begins to feature on major R&B and pop playlists.
