Following the deeply introspective singles Full Circle, Dark Horse, Roll Your Soul and Mastermind, alternative singer-songwriter Maria Wilman releases her highly-anticipated debut album 'Dark Horse'. With subtle notes of Courtney Barnett and Sharon Van Etten, Maria etches her own legacy into the canon of autobiographical, empowered songwriting. Here, she chronicles a period of awakening that saw her overcome loss, re-align with her inner strength, and embark on a long-awaited creative journey – all interwoven beneath her distinctively inward-looking brand of alternative pop.
Maria has a history of doing the unexpected of transforming in ways guided by a trust in her own potential and strength. It’s a trait that the London-based singer/songwriter explores with candidness and depth on Dark Horse - produced by Colin Elliot (Richard Hawley, Slow Club) - that offers a first taste of a much larger body of work written between 2019 and 2022.
