REVIEW: Mara Liddle – YOUR MIND ๐Ÿ”ˆ

Mara Liddle makes her mark on the UK stage with the second offering from her new EP! “YOUR MIND” is an explosive exploration into the intricacies and intensities of heartbreak, delving into the ways in which we deal with post-breakup relationships.

The single has a dark, yet upbeat hyper-pop style, reflecting the lyricism and topic of the track, trying to maintain appearances and a positive outlook yet at the same time trying to deal with the emotional and mental turmoil that envelopes a person after the end of a relationship.

Opening with a sharp, almost violent synth line, the track immediate sets the tone from the get-go, establishing an element of feeling, dropping away for Mara’s exquisitely autotuned vocal to glide effortlessly over the track.

The drumbeat and flowing bassline form a steady foundation for the track, and with airy and dreamy synth pads lining the soundscape, the atmosphere of the track is gorgeous. It’s a brilliant balance of instrumentation that sets it in a modern alt-pop realm, with a lovely use of unique yet quality synth sounds that contribute superbly to make this not only an intricate and personal track, but one you can both dance along to in the club, and also cry along to in the club.

Additionally, her lyricism shines here, with direct and poignant songwriting that invokes feeling and emotion in the listener immediately, yet with poetic beauty balanced with a modern, down-to-earth and relatable realism. It’s sure to be one to set her apart in 2026, and if this is the standard of her releases, we’re eagerly anticipating the release of her EP “EXTREME CONFIDENCE” on the 24th of June.
