About Me

Me, Myself, and I
Before you listen to her new album, Maria Taylor suggests you prepare yourself. Listen to it, she says “in a dark room, with a candle or two with headphones, maybe in the bath, but definitely horizontal.”
Though much of the deliciously diverse LadyLuck is inspired by the end of a relationship, it’s not dripping with sadness and grief, nor is it in-your-face empowering. Rather, Taylor strikes a stunning balance between melancholy (aching strings, hushed vocals) and uplifting (rolling rhythms, shimmering keys), highlighted by sharp lyrics that draw optimism out of sadness. This is not a woman down on her luck.

  • US Tour Dates + NEW Song

    February 26, 2009

    heLLO!!
    For the last few months I have been ANXIOUSLY awaiting the release of my new record LadyLuck. I truly can't wait for it to come out so that I can get on the ROAD and play these songs every night!!! Luckily, I don't have to wait much longer:) the second single " cartoons and forever plans" ( which I co-wrote with Michael Stipe and Andy LeMaster ) comes out March 17 on iTunes and you can hear it now on my myspace. We will begin the US tour as soon as I get back from europe on April 4th. My dearest friends Whispertown 2000 will be opening up every show. You will LOVE them.

    See you SOON!
