Melt, Maris

media release: Up-and-coming indie pop singer MARIS is thrilled to release her new single “Chameleon” that is out now on all platforms.

The ballad highlights MARIS’ remarkable vocals, capturing the challenges of change and the struggle to adapt to a new life. Through heartfelt lyrics and soaring melodies, she conveys the emotional weight of transformation, inviting listeners to reflect on their own journeys. The music resonates with a sense of vulnerability and strength, making it a powerful anthem for anyone facing life's uncertainties.

MARIS says, “I wrote ‘Chameleon’ with Ian Walsh during one of my lowest points where I wanted to change everything about myself. Living in Los Angeles has been a battle, especially in the arena of self-comparison. There's a lot of beautiful, rich, successful people here, and if you're not one of them, you're trying to be. It can be incredibly heavy. I used to be so proud of being a chameleon, someone who can adapt to any room and anything. Now, I think that adaptability is valuable, but I want to focus on being steady in myself.”

In support of her new music MARIS will be hitting the road with indie band Melt on their North American tour kicking off next Thursday, October 3 in Indianapolis.
