With “Atlantis,” Mary Middlefield effortlessly expands on her signature sound, seamlessly combining ethereal and melancholic vocals with dark folk instrumentation, and infusing uplifting synth and strings. The accompanying music video is a visual marvel, featuring Middlefield and her band performing in a liminal and almost submerged space.
When asked about the themes of “Atlantis,” Middlefield reveals, “The song is an exploration of sadistic love, a subject that has captivated my creative focus lately. It’s not typical to be so fascinated by someone who offers so little in return. However, I find these complex emotions deeply intriguing. When we are in love, particularly in unhealthy relationships, we often find ourselves willing to sacrifice everything, even our happiness, for the sake of another person. Sometimes, these journeys lead us down darker paths. With this song, I aimed to capture a sense of sweetness and romance mixed with a hint of morbidity. Nobody should have to endure such extremes or contemplate them to feel loved and validated.”
Prepare to be transported to the mystical realm of “Atlantis” as Mary Middlefield’s bewitching melodies and profound lyrics mesmerize your soul. This song is a true testament to her artistic vision and unrelenting talent.
