Intimate ache and cinematic warmth met in Ida Maisey’s ‘Get Lucky’ –

As an artist who could easily be revered as the Joni Mitchell of her generation, Ida Maisey has a distinct way of projecting intricate beauty from candid melancholy. In her latest single, Get Lucky, that gift feels especially potent. With a voice as weightless and consoling as the steady ring of her acoustic guitar strings, Maisey moves through a confessional of pain that feels quietly fearless. The lyrics touch on common insecurities and the familiar pull of morose hunger strikes, digging deep into the trenches of the soul with an intimacy that lands close to the bone.

The way the single builds in artful beguile feels far richer than a simple exercise in experimental flourish. The diaphanous cinematic swells and sepia-soaked expanses of Americana serve a clear emotional purpose. They deepen the vulnerability at the core of Get Lucky, exposing how superficial connections that lead with lust and inhibit trust often leave you tethered to doubt around your own self-worth. These elements arrive as emotional reinforcements rather than decoration, amplifying the quiet ache that sits beneath Maisey’s delivery.

Based in London, Maisey first introduced her reflective songwriting voice with her debut EP Growing Pains, released at just eighteen. Since then, her writing has continued to sharpen, pairing acoustic warmth with lyrical clarity that never shies away from discomfort. In Get Lucky, she tackles a complex diorama of emotion with absolute grace, wrestling visceral narratives into a hauntingly dreamy soundscape that lingers long after the final note fades. It’s proof of her value as a contemporary singer-songwriter, and a reminder of how powerful sincerity can feel when handled with this much care.

Get Lucky is now available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify.
