Comfort
With 14 international magazine front covers to her name, numerous producer/DJ awards and 10 million You Tube views, it’s hard to believe that Maya Jane Coles is yet to release an artist album. All that is about to change with the release of her debut LP “Comfort” one of the most eagerly awaited debut electronic albums in years.
Released on Maya’s own I/AM/ME label, the full album is reflective of Maya’s broader musical influences both in and outside the electronic world, and has been produced, engineered and mixed at Maya’s modest home studio. Maya plays every instrument, creates every sound, designs the artwork and even takes on vocal duties for tracks like the lo-fi “Stranger” and the hypnotic “Dreamer” – a clear display of this London girl’s wide array of talents.
With a host of features from past collaborators the album truly has a family feel. “Fall from Grace” sees Maya reuniting with Catherine Pockson of Alpines and “Wait for You” brings Maya back together with legendary producer/rapper Tricky, having previously remixed his track “Time To Dance”. There are some notable new collaborations, with Maya duetting with electronic icon Miss Kittin on “Take A Ride”, and the pioneering Kim Ann Foxman; formerly front woman of Hercules & The Love Affair, on future single “Burning Bright”.  “Comfort” showcases why Maya Jane Coles is regarded as one of the most exciting producers in a generation.
