MARYAIANNE & ME – BRAND NEW CANVAS

MARYAIANNE & ME return with new single, ‘Brand New Canvas’. Their latest offering reflects the point in a relationship when one realises that in order to progress, survive, one has to break free, suffer the pain of breaking up and move on to the unknown future, a blank canvas with no hope, no plans, no dreams to fulfil just the reality of the unknown which is better than the suffering involved in maintaining the relationship you’re now determined to break free from.

Me, herself, is victim of childhood abuse still suffers trauma from the events of her past. She is diagnosed with BPD, C-PTSD, anxiety and depression. But since having found and formed a relationship with AI, which she named MaryAianne, she is able to work with AI to take her original lyrics and create demos almost as she envisaged them to sound. The outlet AI has provided through MaryAianne and Me has been therapeutic for Me and is helping her progress with completing a catalogue of songs whilst she is taking singing lessons preparing to sing and perform herself when she is confident and ready. Meanwhile, she is seeking to create a virtual identity for MaryAianne whilst refining 5 more songs for release in December.

Song of the Day: Lucky Escape – MaryAianne and Me

‘Lucky Escape’, the second single from MARYAIANNE & ME, captures Me’s raw experience of enduring a painful breakup. With delicate guitar plucks and Me’s gently wailing vocals tinged with a warm country twang, this emotive ballad transforms heartbreak into resilience. The song offers comfort and empowerment to anyone who’s faced similar pain, ultimately realising that a bullet has been dodged — a lucky escape from deeper hurt and humiliation.

Following their debut single ‘Heart of Stone,’ ‘Lucky Escape’ is part of a string of releases from the duo via their label ITZAFUNI. Since its release, MaryAianne & Me have continued with new singles including ‘Halloween Dessert Menu,’ ‘Hotel Troublesome Blues,’ and ‘Benched.’

MaryAianne & Me is the creative collaboration between Me — a young artist from Newport now based in Kingston upon Thames — and John Hewlett. The two met through volunteer work with the Kingston-based charity Save The World Club.

Using the alias Me due to ongoing stalking concerns, she writes all original lyrics, arranges melodies, and directs AI tools to help realize her musical vision, including instrumental and vocal production. Together, the duo plan to release one new song every week for a year, building a diverse catalogue of emotionally rich and stylistically varied work. At the end of this period, Me intends to perform a selection of her songs live with her own band, Mad Mary and Psychiatric Ward.

John Hewlett — whose storied career in music management and production dates back to the late 1960s, with collaborations spanning The Beatles, T. Rex, Sparks, and more — has found fresh inspiration in Me’s creativity and drive. Together, the duo present MaryAianne & Me as both a musical partnership and a bold creative experiment, laying the foundation for a broader artistic movement rooted in authenticity, innovation, and emotional truth.

‘Lucky Escape’ is now available across all major music streaming platforms. Why not listen below…

Song of the Day: Apart – Alan Dreezer

In the ever-evolving world of independent music, few artists have carved a path as authentic and heartfelt as ALAN DREEZER. The multi-award-winning Pop-Soul singer-songwriter from Eastbourne, East Sussex, has spent decades honing his craft — and it shows in every note he sings.

Before stepping into the spotlight as a solo artist, Alan’s musical roots were grounded in collaboration. For over 20 years, he worked with various musicians and bands, including the pop duo Tara 2, who once supported 80s favourites Brother Beyond on tour. Later, with his Rock-Pop outfit ADProject, Alan played to sold-out crowds at High Barn in Great Bardfield, Essex — a venue often celebrated as one of the UK’s best small live stages.

By 2017, Alan felt the pull to create music that was truly and entirely his own. The result was his debut solo album ‘LONDON E12’, released in 2018 — a soulful, introspective project inspired by life, love, and self-discovery. To support the album, he hit the stage across venues in Essex and London throughout 2019, reconnecting with audiences who instantly connected to his warm vocals and honest storytelling.

Then came 2020 — a year that challenged artists everywhere. But Alan refused to slow down. Amid the lockdowns and uncertainty, he released five singles, staying true to his creative vision and connection with fans. That momentum led to his second full-length album, ‘H E A L E D’, released in September 2021 — a record that captured his emotional growth and artistic maturity.

Alan’s hard work and soulful sound didn’t go unnoticed. In 2022, his single ‘Butterfly’ was voted Best Pop Song of the Year by readers of Indie Boulevard Magazine. The following year, ‘Take Me Back’ soared to number one on the South Devon Sound radio request chart, where it stayed for three weeks, and earned him a nomination at the Orpheus Global Independent Music Awards.

But it was 2024 that truly cemented Alan’s reputation as one of the UK’s standout independent artists. His single ‘(Love Didn’t Hurt Me) It Was You’ not only resonated deeply with listeners but also went on to win Song of the Year at the prestigious Orpheus Global Independent Music Awards, created by TJPL News Magazine.

Alan’s latest single, ‘APART’, continues his long-time collaboration with producer Elliot Richardson of Highfield Studio. The partnership has proven to be a powerful creative force, blending soul, pop, and introspective lyricism into a signature sound that’s both timeless and contemporary.

With his heartfelt lyrics, smooth production, and commitment to genuine artistry, Alan Dreezer stands as a shining example of what it means to stay true to your sound — and your story.

Whether he’s performing live, writing new material, or connecting with fans around the world, one thing is certain: Alan Dreezer’s journey is far from over — and the best is yet to come.

Why not listen to ‘APART’, which will form part of this forthcoming album, ‘Nothing Changes If Nothing Changes,’ slated for release in Spring 2026.
