Welcome to the music of singer songwriter, Maria Wilman. Roll Your Soul is the new single.
“Maybe because I love the dark I had to write about darkness, our darkness... The inner, inwards, sometimes, the fearful side that somehow opens up our awareness to awakening. Is facing our shortcomings a way to challenge ourselves and grow? What do we exchange in order not to fear, to be in control and grasp onto power?”
"Maybe because I love the dark I had to write about darkness, our darkness... The inner, inwards, sometimes, the fearful side that somehow opens up our awareness to awakening."
The inner, inwards, sometimes, the fearful side that somehow opens up our awareness to awakening. Is facing our shortcomings a way to challenge ourselves and grow?What do we exchange in order not to fear, to be in control and grasp onto power? What is its effect on us individually and as a society? Can we dive into our dark side to find depth and possibility?
It is in riding the darkness that we arrive in the light. It’s a provocation to awaken our senses, what our potential is capable of and how we plan to take that ride. Recognition, acceptance, validation, and belonging, are these desires interchangeable for power, for gold? What is the price we pay?
"Maybe because I love the dark I had to write about darkness, our darkness... The inner, inwards, sometimes, the fearful side that somehow opens up our awareness to awakening."
Dark Horse is also the chosen name for my upcoming album, which is defined by transitions and transformations. Transformation meaning the evolving self turning into something different, someone different, becoming the potential of who we can truly be.
At the same time, for this transformation to occur, there is a sense of grieving as we let go of the old self to allow the new to emerge.
Anything and everything can happen in an unexpected way.
The video for Plan B is the first ever to be shot on Goodwin Sands, a break in the sea 40 minutes off the Kent coast and only accessible for 90 minutes at a time, before it’s engulfed in water. The outcrop is the resting place for a number of shipwrecks and other lost vessels which made the experience of filming there even more intertwined with the song’s themes.
