In her new album YOU'RE THE WAVES, Maïa Vidal offers a personal take on an eternal subject matter: the love story, with all its fluctuations and shifts, its ebb and flow: falling in love, being in love, falling out of love.

Overflowing with her trademark, soaring melodies, this is the young American singer/songwriter/musician’s most accomplished album to date, a electronic pop opus which was brilliantly produced by Maïa herself, co-produced by Giuliano Cobelli, and mixed by Van Rivers (Glasser, Fever Ray, Matthew Dear).

Maïa played most of the instruments (keyboards, autoharp, violin, guitar, beat programming), with contributions by Giuliano Cobelli (trumpet, percussion, beats).

All these ingredients, alongside Maïa’s moving, humourous and distinctive lyrics,  contribute to making You’re The Waves a unique, sensual and fresh album.


To illustrate her songs, Maïa Vidal has conceived and co-directed three videos which can be viewed as a 3-episode mini-series:

Episode 1: Bones - the playful side of falling in love.

Episode 2: The Tide - the intense phase of love (this video was premiered on May 25th by Vice USA).

Episode 3: Episode 3: Islands Of You and Me - the romantic side of love. This latter video will be released in early September, shortly before the release of the album on September 25th.


Maïa Vidal has played shows all over Europe, has also performed in Japan, Brazil,  Argentina and the US. She will be touring again from September onwards, performing songs from You’re The Waves and her previous albums with a 3-piece band.
