Maisie Peters unveils a haunting new era with “Say My Name In Your Sleep”

"Say My Name In Your Sleep," a quietly powerful song by British singer-songwriter Maisie Peters, marks a new chapter in her career. It was written with Marcus Mumford of Mumford & Sons. Peters and Mumford wrote and produced the song together, with help from Ian Fitchuk. It gives a sneak peek of her upcoming third studio album, which promises to have depth, nuance, and a voice that is constantly changing and improving.

Peters draws on the story's lingering shadows, its focus on the past, and the kind of love that never fully lets go. The story is based on Daphne du Maurier's 1938 Gothic novel Rebecca. The end result is a song that feels both haunted and haunting. Peters looks at the delicate balance between moving on and making room for a love that changed you, even though you know it was never quite right. It's the quiet confession that comes out when you close your lips. It's the small, unspoken hope that the person you used to love still thinks about you at 2 a.m. or when a familiar song plays on the radio.

The song has a warm, reflective feel that balances softness with emotional accuracy. There is a low, smoldering anger beneath the song's soft surface, but Peters cools it down with maturity and acceptance. This duality is what makes her new era what it is, a bittersweet mix of memories and clarity, where the heart learns to let go while still leaving a shadow behind.

The collaboration with Marcus Mumford, which was recorded at Real World Studios, is the start of a meaningful artistic relationship that helped shape the album to come. "Say My Name In Your Sleep" is a beautiful way to get into that world, and it stays with you long after the last note.
