Master storytellers Maisie Peters and JP Saxe have collaborated on Peters’s latest single, “Maybe Don’t”
Prior to lockdown, Peters and Saxe worked alongside GRAMMY-winning writer and producer, Joe Rubel (Ed Sheeran, L Devine) to eloquently weave a conversational love story. In true Peters and Saxe fashion, “Maybe Don’t” delves into universal and emotional experiences. The single focuses on our tendency to sabotage a great relationship out of fear. “We run from the things we want the most,” the two sing.
The conversation continues in the accompanying lyric video. Each lyric is typed out as if sent via text or email.
“Maybe Don’t” is a strong follow up to Peters’s recent single, “Sad Girl Summer” and Saxe’s six-track debut EP, Hold It Together and his new single “A Little Bit Yours.”
Both are at work on their highly anticipated debut albums.
When Maisie is not telling her own stories, she is reading other’s stories with her rapidly-growing virtual book club (@mpbookclub). Each month, followers are invited to read a book based on a theme. At the end of the month, Peters hosts an Instagram Live Q+A’s with the author. Past authors have included Dr Camilla Pang (“Explaining Humans”), Kiley Reid (“Such a Fun Age”) and Sophie Williams.
Listen to “Maybe Don’t” now on all streaming platforms.
