Maz O’connor

Terry Emm premieres the animated video for his calypso-inspired ‘Island Soul’, the third single to come from his forthcoming album ‘Wish You Were Here’, due out May 19th. It features the sweet vocals of Maz O’Connor and multi-instrumentalist Lukas Drinkwater who also produced the track.

‘What I Wanted’ is a strikingly confident leap into new musical and stylistic territory for Maz O’Connor, but never losing sight of her established core strengths – her voice and lyrics…I suspect this is just the start of many wonders to come.

Like you’ve never heard her before…Maz O’Connor blossoms into her alter-ego “vulpes” with her new single ‘Soho’, a melancholic hymn to London’s iconic West End…a place transformed from a place of eccentricity and independent spirit to a corporate void.

Watch the stunning new video for Maz O’Connor’s ‘Cordelia’, taken from her new album ‘Chosen Daughter’. The video was made by Certain Light Films, a female-led, London-based film company.

With ‘Chosen Daughter’, Maz O’Connor presents a very personal but equally universal album that is veined, as per the title, both with the a sense of being wanted and the need to feel so, let it bring out the very best of your musical maternal instincts.
