I don't know if anyone else feels this way but I really love a song that can capture so much in such little time. Adding vulnerability, along with a catchy chorus are is the recipe to a song that will stick with someone forever. "The Devil I Know" by Mae Hill brings all of that to the table alongside a new sound that borders along so many different genres. Their gravely voice adds perfect texture to music that is big and in your face which reminded me of a mix of Bon Jovi and KT Tunstall - a little bit of folk, pop, rock and indie. It's an incredible turn from some of the other songs that I've heard this year and so great and fresh.
The beginning of the song starts off with what sounds like guitar feedback and chants really capturing the vibes - almost like a cult. This energy follows through the the first verse as the song continues to build up allowing the listeners to really feel the intensity that Mae is bringing. The chorus explodes with energy bringing us to a unique point of view that Mae is actually very aware of how toxic this person might be for her but her own insecurities are getting in the way and making her feel like this is actually better than being alone. Between their voice and the attitude that this song brings, listeners should buckle up for quite a journey.
Mae Hill is a singer-songwriter from Brighton in England who is breaking through the music industry with quite a bit of force. With voice comparisons to Christina Aguilara and Becky Hill, attention really grew with audiences finding a crave for their voice. With a little help from social media, Mae has created an impressive following on both Tik Tok and Instagram where you can find posts of covers like "Wild One" which seems to be a fan favorite. Other singles of theirs include "Love Rehab (Dun Dun)" which has a whopping 6 million listens on Spotify. This is only the beginning of Mae Hill's journey and we cannot wait to hear everything that they end up exploring.
