Maisie Peters releases “My Regards,” the lead single from her recently announced new album ‘Florescence.’ The song finds Peters embracing her power and claiming her man while radiating the assured glow of being truly loved. “My Regards feels powerful, tongue in cheek, sexy and funny, all of which I feel are parts of myself I hadn’t really gotten to explore much musically up until this album,” Peters explains. “I was inspired by a lot of the country greats and their ‘stand by your man songs’, and so I thought I’d write my own modern day version; however in this song I get to play the role of fierce protector instead of simpering love interest, which is so often how women have been depicted in relationships throughout history.”
The music video marks Amelia Dimoldenberg’s directorial debut, featuring Peters as a security guard protecting a movie star played by Benito Skinner in a modern spin on the 1992 classic ‘The Bodyguard.’ “From the moment I heard the track, I knew we had to lean into her gift for storytelling,” Dimoldenberg shares. “I thought it would be interesting to subvert the ‘possessive girlfriend’ trope by making Maisie a literal bodyguard. It felt like a fun way to heighten the narrative.” ‘Florescence’ arrives May 15, co-produced with two-time Grammy winner Ian Fitchuck and featuring collaborations with Julia Michaels and Marcus Mumford. The record is a meditation on how the right love can help heal the wrong ones, exploring perspective, self-realisation, healing, and learning how to flourish. Peters embarks on her Before The Bloom theatre tour March 1 at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre, traveling through Australia, East Asia, Europe, the UK, America, and Canada.
