Maine – You Are Ok (album download)
Maine drops another new album titled You Are Ok. The Maine released their last full-length record Lovely, Little, Lonely back in 2017. Which was perhaps their most ambitious effort to date and saw them venture into alt-indie territory. The Maine have announced the arrival of their seventh studio album You Are Ok. Back in December, frontman John O’Callaghan confirmed that their seventh effort was complete. Now we finally have our first glimpse into the next era of The Maine.
The band have given us a taste of what to expect with lead single ‘Numb Without You’, and boy – we were not ready. ‘Numb Without You’ marks yet another stylistic heel turn for the band. Driven by intense strings, the track boasts one of the best choruses The Maine have ever written. We can tell that we’re going to have this one on repeat for weeks.
First single and alt-radio track, “Bad Behavior” dances its way into your head and in true pop fashion, refuses to leave – making an impact with its catchy hooks. The single also served visually as the band’s first music video for the album. The song tethers true to the heart of The Maine’s charm – frontman John O’Callaghan’s writing style – packaging it together as poetic pop. The album pushes into rock boundaries with tracks like “Do You Remember” while the haunting “Black Butterflies & Deja Vu” uses much softer vocals. Cohesively, the album flows together as the perfect natural evolution from their last full length, American Candy.
