about

Cowboy hat wearing alt-indie pop finale: Western style guitars, pulsing synth basslines and cowbell filled drums coupled with lyrics about moving on from a relationship and choosing yourself.

I wrote Tudu Tudu Tu during the dire days of lockdown, isolated in my tiny London flat. One evening around midnight I had a glass of red wine and decided to write a song without judgement or overthinking. I didn’t want to care too much about what words I was using or what they meant. Just let it flow freely. Because of the spontaneous nature of writing this track, the lyrics just fell out of me. Felt like I was going through some Freudian shit. I had no plan or intention to sing about anything specific, it just happened. The morning after I read through it and realised I was venting my frustration about the relationship I had just left and the relief I felt in leaving it. I kept the lyrics exactly the way I improvised them that night, even keeping the placeholder chorus as it was: 'Tudu Tudu Tu'

lyrics

Something tells me we’re not meant to be
Yeah it’s crazy how I believed
And if I go then please don’t follow me
If I’m honest I gotta leave

Tudu Tudu Tu
Tudu Tudu Tu

Starting Over
Starting Over

When it rains then it hits me
I’m attached to the thought of you
And the pain feels like i’m trying
I’m done with justifying

When it rains then it hits me
I'm already over you
And the fact is that we're lying
cause the truth is terrifying

Something tells me we’re not meant to be
Yeah it’s crazy how I believed
And if I go then please don’t follow me
If I’m honest I gotta leave

Tudu Tudu Tu
Tudu Tudu Tu

When it rains then it hits me
I’m attached to the thought of you
And the pain feels like i’m trying
I’m done with justifying

When it rains then it hits me
i'm already over you
And the fact is that we're lying
cause the truth is terrifying

Maella London, UK

Growing up in Prague, the daughter of a local jazz musician, Maella would often visit the dimly lit, smoke-filled basement jazz bars in the city centre. Watching bands through a glowing haze of cigarette smoke that thickened throughout the night, she found herself feeling like she was listening alone, trapped in the aura of the music. ... more
