We recently had the opportunity to check out rising pop artist MARIS,  and her new single, “Losing People,” you can listen to “Losing People “ Here . The track is the latest offering from her highly anticipated EP MOSH★PIT, due September 18.

If you are new to the musical brilliance that is MARIS , then “Losing People “ is the perfect introduction. Following the release of fan favorites “Missing Me,” “Body Is On Fire,” and the explosive title track “MOSH★PIT,” “Losing People” showcases a more vulnerable side of MARIS‘ songwriting. Anchored by poignant lyrics and soaring pop melodies, the song explores the complicated emotions that come with losing someone you once loved deeply. The accompanying music video visually captures the song’s themes of heartbreak, reflection, and acceptance, bringing another dimension to one of MARIS‘ most personal releases to date. While “Losing People” shines a bright light on MARIS‘ emotional depth, it remains connected to the larger themes of MOSH★PIT—a project built around community, catharsis, and finding freedom through self-expression. Produced by Dylan Bauld, the EP blends high-energy pop production with storytelling, capturing the highs and lows of young adulthood in real time. MARIS is a Los Angeles–based, Montana-born singer/songwriter, emerging as “pop music’s next Mega Star” [Los Angeles Times]. A playful DIY ethos animates her songs, social content, and live shows. Blending heartland rock with glam-pop bombast, MARIS crafts arena-sized, sugar-rush choruses built around elastic vocals and diaristic songwriting. Her breakout collaboration with Caroline Kingsbury, “Give Me A Sign,” earned praise from PAPER as “anxious and electric,” landed on Spotify’s Best Pop Songs of 2025, and helped fuel her first sold-out headline show at DC9. FLOOD calls “Body Is On Fire” a “cathartic” kickoff to her “vibrant” new phase. MARIS has performed at Boston Calling alongside Ed Sheeran, Chappell Roan, and Reneé Rapp; placed #4 on Stereogum’s Top Pop Songs of 2025 with “SUPER F★CKING MEGAST★R”; and been included in Spotify’s Fresh Finds Class three times. Elton John featured “Mary + I” on his Rocket Hour radio show, comparing MARIS to both Lady Gaga and Freddie Mercury. Best experienced live, MARIS ensures audiences feel free to be their happiest, truest selves. She told the Los Angeles Times, “At my show, you’re gonna jump. You’re gonna dance. You’re gonna be involved, whether or not you want to.”

MARIS, is truly a breath of fresh air in today’s musical landscape. You owe it to yourself to check out her latest single, “Losing People”
