[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]There\u2019s nothing more fun to listen to than a debut album from an artist you\u2019ve been following for years. Last week, fans of Maisie Peters finally got to know that feeling with the release of <\/span>You Signed Up For This<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Peters has been releasing music since 2017 (\u201cPlaces We Were Made\u201d was on every playlist I made my freshman year of college), but this is her first full body of work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The British singer-songwriter sings about what she knows: love and heartbreak. What moves her songs a notch above the rest are the details she adds that make every story real; from Adidas sneakers to fake IDs, from bleached tips to John Hughes movies, Peters knows how to sprinkle in just enough detail to make listeners feel like she\u2019s singing just for them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Her songs swing through the highs and lows of a relationship. \u201cThought I\u2019d be a cool girl, but turns out I\u2019m livid \/\/ I\u2019ll cry you a river, then I\u2019ll drown you in it,\u201d she sings on \u201cVolcano.\u201d She pivots from detached declarations of homicide to being fully brokenhearted: \u201cLoving you hurts \/\/ and I loved you first \/\/ It didn\u2019t work out and I wanted it to work,\u201d she sighs wistfully on stand-out track “Love Him I Don’t.” \u201cLoved you, I swear \/\/ Loving you\u2019s not fair \/\/ so love you I don\u2019t.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She also finds time to laugh about her romantic missteps: on \u201cI\u2019m Trying (Not Friends),\u201d she announces she\u2019s having three shots, one of which is for \u201ccalling guys with guitars in a cemetery \/\/ Just me? Okay.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She has higher-profile fans than me, though. Her album was released on Gingerbread Man Records, a.k.a Ed Sheeran\u2019s label. She\u2019s also garnered recognition from Sam Smith, Phoebe Bridgers and Taylor Swift, one of Peters\u2019 musical heroes.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”28123″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Like I said before, it\u2019s exciting to watch an artist you\u2019ve listened to for years finally release their debut. When that debut is as excellent as <\/span>You Signed Up For This<\/span><\/i>, the excitement is doubled. Maisie Peters is poised for pop supremacy, so what are you waiting for?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
