MAYCE releases her first single since her rebrand launch and is ready to open up about how it feels to release music since her exit from record label, EMPIRE and her long-term management. A seasoned artist, highly-respected vocalist, songwriter, notable and coveted live performer, MAYCE decides on ‘The Man That I Met’ for her debut track drop. Although the record takes us down-memory-lane, in a melancholy, dreamy state of nostalgia, there is a striking shift in the MAYCE sound that showcases we are listening to an evolved, empowered female artist that we were not confronted with before.
‘The Man That I Met’ stems from a time where MAYCE uprooted the complex life she was living in Los Angeles to build a much simpler existence in Utah. Accompanied by alternative and western influences, whilst holding a pop edge with her trademark power vocals, the song lives as a time capsule of the good things about a certain person despite how bad it ended, finding yourself wondering how things could have been had the circumstances been different.
MAYCE says of her new single, “I wrote ‘The Man That I Met’ based on a relationship that ended in so much pain but I didn’t let that feeling blind me from remembering all of the good things about that person. When something ends in hurt, it usually leaves a bad taste in our mouths, causing us to forget that those moments highlighted the worst versions of ourselves. This song brings maturity to light, especially once a relationship comes to a close. To recall someone for their light in this world instead of the dark shows growth, and I’ve never been more proud to release a song.”
As anticipation builds for the release of ‘The Man That I Met’, MAYCE continues to tease her following on social media with new visuals and content from this new chapter.

Song of the Day: Fade Away – Ricardo Williams
Following a prolific journey in the R&B landscape, RICARDO WILLIAMS unveils ‘Fade Away,’ a soul-stirring R&B slow jam that signals a poignant farewell to a familiar sound and heralds the dawn of an invigorated artistic path. Drawing inspiration from the heartfelt undertones in Summer Walker’s ‘Say My Name,’ Ricardo crafts a narrative that mirrors his own experiences, feelings of loss, and the rediscovery of his artistic essence.
The inception of ‘Fade Away’ came about at a deeply personal space, a time when Ricardo felt detached from his creative self, grappling with a loss of direction in his music. This period of artistic stagnation, characterised by months of being unable to write, urged him to channel the feelings of letting go into the
realm of relationships, creating a metaphor that beautifully depicts his evolving relationship with music.
Ricardo shares, “This song came about from a time when I felt like I had lost my essence as an artist, chasing the wrong things and losing my spark in the process. ‘Fade Away’ is a testament to the journey of rediscovery, using the pain and the detachment as a metaphor woven into a relationship narrative. It marks the end of an era and the exciting beginning of what’s next, a rebirth of Ricardo Williams.”
‘Fade Away’ bears the authenticity of a heartfelt goodbye, a relinquishment of the past, and a warm embrace of the promising future. It resonates as a beacon of renewal, the culmination of one chapter and the eager step into another, carrying the hallmark of Ricardo’s immersive R&B with a fresh and revitalised spirit.
As Ricardo prepares to explore fresh horizons, immersing himself in the studio in anticipation of an upcoming album, ‘Fade Away’ stands as a sincere note to fans, an invitation to witness the transformation and to grow alongside an artist ready to bare his soul in new, profound ways.
