Maeve Kelley Is A Raged Broken Hearted Girl On "Got Away"

Talented American singer, Maeve Kelley has shared her awful experience after a break up on "Got Away".

"Got Away" was created after a breakup when she was 17, and it pours with all the unparalleled sorrow and wrath of a distraught adolescent desperate for karmic vengeance.

Got Away scolds an ex-lover, ominously stating that "someday, you're gonna regret the way you treated me."

Five years later, she had the opportunity to record and co-produce it at Atlantic Records Studios with Juan Fleischer, a long-time partner. Paul Bailey mixed it, while John Greenham, a Grammy winner, mastered the song.

Got Away is a high-octane rock album fueled by repetitive guitars and powerful drumlines. Hundreds of voice stacks and strings are added in as the song continues, inviting listeners to scream-sing along.

Maeve wanted to experiment with the traditionally romantic/nostalgic cultural idea of "the one who got away" both lyrically and musically with this song by moving it into a new setting that seems more like naval combat than a fantasy. Listen to it below.

About Maeve Kelley

Music has always been an important part of the 23-year-old singer's life, as she has been singing since she was able to speak.

Maeve, who was born in Boston and now lives in Los Angeles, recalls creating songs as early as the age of seven for the "band" she had created with her elder brother (concert audiences consisted of her mother and nanny).

Maeve spent her childhood immersed in all things musical, including school talent shows, competition choirs, musical theatre, cappella groups, and open mics.

Maeve cites Amy Winehouse, Lana Del Rey, Etta James, and Frank Sinatra as some of her main musical influences for her solo work.

She aims to incorporate soul and jazz influences into modern music, giving her work an old-school feel. Kelley made her commercial debut in June 2019 with "Baby Blue," a sensuous summer fling anthem, followed by "Jupiter's Child," a heavenly and brass-heavy "identity tune," according to Maeve.

Maeve is looking forward to revealing her next project to her audience in the new year. Follow her on social media via @maevie_ On Instagram.
