The Good Witch

Share Share Share

After a year of scheming and crafting, building and destroying, Maisie Peters is ready to share what she's been conjuring up – her brand new album, 'The Good Witch', arriving via Gingerbread Man Records/Asylum on June 16. Pre-order is available now HERE.

Recently heralded by vulnerable lead single, "Body Better", Maisie's second studio album, "The Good Witch", is the official follow-up to her No. 2 BRIT Breakthrough certified debut, "You Signed Up For This", and in many ways the older, wiser and scorned counterpart. Written in real time during her whirlwind 2022 touring schedule, "The Good Witch" served as a time capsule for Maisie, enabling her to chronicle a period of time in which she was searching for balance between career highs and personal lows. Where "You Signed Up For This" was an observational, coming-of-age record, "The Good Witch" finds Maisie at her most introspective and self-reflective, drawing inspiration from the works of Joan Didion, J. M. Barrie, Greek mythology and Western movies; the record explores the complexities of romantic breakups, the preciousness of friendship and true value of self-worth.

Exhibiting a newfound confidence, sharper storytelling and greater artistic ambition, Maisie created "The Good Witch" across London, Suffolk, Stockholm, Bergen and LA, alongside Oscar Görres (Taylor Swift, Troye Sivan), Two Inch Punch (Sam Smith, Jessie Ware), Matias Tellez (girl in red), Brad Ellis (Jorja Smith, Little Mix), Joe Rubel (Ed Sheeran, Tom Grennan) and Elvira Anderfjärd (Tove Lo, Katy Perry).

Maisie explains: "This is my heart and soul, my blood on the page, the collection of stories that I've managed to capture in the past year. A true chronicle of my life in recent history, it is my own twisted version of a breakup album and it all draws upon the same couple of months' worth of experiences and inspirations. It ducks and weaves between the real and surreal, and centres my own universe, of which I am of course the keeper of the keys and the holder of the cards - the good witch, if you will. It goes from light to dark in the flip of a switch and I hope takes you on a journey whereby the end you feel like you've gotten lost in someone else's planet for a bit."

Maisie Peters touched down in Australia earlier this week for the first time ahead of seven headline shows across February and March, as well as opening for Ed Sheeran on his mammoth stadium tour. Limited tickets are available for the Byron Bay and Perth headline shows HERE.

With 20,000+ tickets sold across the UK and Europe this spring, Maisie is now set to perform her biggest shows to date, including Eventim Apollo on 27^th April (which sold out in just an hour), a headline slot at Liverpool's Sound City on 30^th April and a sold-out homecoming show at Brighton Dome as part of The Great Escape Festival on 12^th May, where – alongside Arlo Parks - she's confirmed as one of the two 2023 Spotlight Shows.
