Affirming her charming and bold pop character once again, New York-based songstress maniia unleashes her latest effort, ‘one track mind’, a striking and eclectic piece steeped in 2000s pop nostalgia and haunting, moody synth tones. Echoing a witty blend between Lady Gaga and Nelly Furtado, maniia explores rolling and dancy beats alongside catchy vocals and memorable hooks. Honestly, it’s a good record, one drenched in personal lyricism and melancholic, romantic-driven themes.
Originally from Prague, maniia origins story is heavily woven into the current political landscape. An expert in international relations, the talented creative recently lost her job due to the Trump administration’s freeze on foreign aid, causing her to fully focus on her music. Perhaps it was meant to be; time will tell. From what we can hear in ‘one track mind’, it is clear that maniia is not here to hang around, penning hard-hitting pop anthems that are likely to resonate with a wide audience out there.
Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘one track mind’, maniia explains: “It blends early 2000s pop nostalgia with moody synths and introspective lyrics, capturing that restless feeling of chasing clarity in emotional chaos. It’s catchy, atmospheric, and made for late-night drives or moments of overthinking.”
