Maris is an artist in every sense of the word, she is a creative force with an extraordinary artistic vision .

“Gravity “ is an electrifying body of musical greatness from the opening note of “outofmydepth” to the last note of “Goodbye Forever “ Every track is full of life and passion as MARIS gives her whole heart and soul on each song .

“outofmydepth” is the perfect introduction to the EP. Maris has crafted an authentic and honest track that is simply breathtaking and it really pulls you in , wanting more .

One of the tracks that we can not get enough of is “Heavenly Bodies “ their is something so cinematic about this track . If “Heavenly Bodies “ was a broadway number it would be an absolute show stopper.

The final track on “Gravity” “Goodbye Forever “ is absolutely breathtaking Maris gives an otherworldly vocal performance that honestly left us speechless. “Goodbye Forever” is the perfect final track for “Gravity

MARIS says, “I’m so excited to put out my first larger body of work, accompanied by a series of music videos that combine into a short film that I co-directed with the amazing Caro Knapp. From writing these songs through tears alone in my room, or with incredible producers and writers in studios or on Zoom, to creating the zine pages and the podcast episodes, to making the music videos, and finally playing the music live on tour, this process has taught me so much and been fulfilling in so many ways.”

Alongside the EP, Gravity The EP: The Movie – a 17-minute short film that brings you through the journey of Gravity, will be premiering today at 2pm PT on YouTube ( Friday , June 30th) followed by an exclusive YouTube AfterParty on YouTube Premium.

Speaking of Gravity The EP: The Movie, MARIS says, “The musical journey, the visual experience, the cartoon, and the sci-fi epic extravaganza is the biggest opportunity to create a visual that I’ve ever had. Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve escaped the worries of my day-to-day life by listening to music and imagining the movie scene it would soundtrack. Once I started writing my own music, my dream became making movies that are soundtracked by my own songs. So, when we selected the songs that we wanted to put out, I got to work making the vision boards and shot lists for the visuals I wanted to make! My label, Black House, and management, Best Friends, are equal parts crazy and spectacular for executive producing this project, and letting us be daring and ambitious with the visuals. I’m elated and nervous and excited and terrified and so proud to finally share the entire project!”
