U.K. singer-songwriter Maisie Peters debuted an acoustic video for her song “Stay Young,” In the clip, the 19-year-old folk-pop singer performs a stripped-down version of the track in a cozy studio setting, with nothing more than an acoustic guitar and a keyboard.
“‘Stay Young’ is a song I wrote last summer, inspired by the song ‘America’ by Simon & Garfunkel,” Peters tells us. “I vividly remember listening to it on the train and being amazed by how clever and beautiful it is, how much of a literal and emotional journey it takes you on. I got to my session and the first verse of ‘Stay Young’ just poured out in practically one sentence as my friend and producer Sam Romans played the bass riff. To me, it says everything I want to say to everyone I love in my life, and hope it does the same to everyone who listens.”
Hot on the heels of her sold out debut headline UK tour earlier this year, this emerging young star, Maisie Peters, announced her biggest headline show to date at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on November 14th. She will also play Nottingham’s Rescue Rooms the night prior on November 13th. Tickets for both shows will be on sale at 10am on Friday 2nd August.
A gifted observational lyricist with a distinctively delicate voice, 19-year-old Peters continues to cement herself as one of the UK’s brightest new talents. She currently boasts over 150m global streams, 4.7m views on YouTube, 3.4m monthly Spotify listeners and has famous fans in global superstar Sam Smith and Lewis Capaldi. Most recently, her track ‘Feels Like This’ (taken from debut EP ‘Dressed Too Nice For A Jacket’) was named Scott Mills’ Tune of the Week on BBC Radio 1, becoming Maisie’s first entry to the iTunes Top 40 Chart in the process. A captivating live act, Peters has toured with the likes of George Ezra, Mahalia and Tom Walker. This summer has also seen her making the festival rounds, playing memorable sets to packed-out tents at Latitude, All Points East, The Great Escape and more.
