Can You See Me is the eagerly awaited sophomore release from one of the most talented young Canadian artists
of her generation and follow up to the very successful debut, Sapphire Birds
At just 14 years old, Maya Rae recorded her first album, a beautiful recording on Cellar Live that
received numerous positive reviews, accolades, and a Top 5 entry on the Earshot National Jazz
Charts. This new recording sees Maya join one of Canada's most respected roots and
songwriter labels, Black Hen Music. The album places its focus on original compositions by
Maya and her brother Gabriel, with arrangements and Production by multiple Juno Award
winner and veteran guitarist Steve Dawson with a world-class group of musicians supporting her
on the recording.
The new album was recorded March 2019 in the songwriter capital of the world, Nashville, TN. The
new album represents an important next step in bringing Maya Rae's original voice to the world.
This album is focused on a unique sound blending of Maya's love of current and contemporary
influences. As her first album was mainly focused on jazz classics, the goal on this
project is to focus on creating a more soulful/current sound while incorporating musical influences ranging from Sarah Vaughan to
Joni Mitchell.
The uncertainties of first love. Misgivings about a friend's choices. Thoughts that come and go.
The best music has the power to illuminate a moment in time more vividly than anything else. A
song, well played and passionately sung, has a life of its own that goes beyond genre and
temporary musical fashion.
The songs on Maya Rae's new release, 'Can You See Me?' - like
those on Joni Mitchell's Blue or Tracy Chapman's self-titled debut album - are timeless and
universal.
Poised at the crossroads between innocence and experience, Maya's voice communicates with
an immediacy and commitment that most artists never attain. In an age when so much music
feels overproduced and lacking in genuine emotion, Maya's songs come like a breath of fresh
air.
Vital, committed and uplifting, 'Can You See Me?' is the real deal.
Featured on Can You See Me? with Maya are:
Steve Dawson - Producer, acoustic and electric guitars, 12-string, pedal steel, vocals
Kai Welch - Organ, keyboard, Ukulele, Wurlitzer, vocals
Jamie Dick - Drums, percussion
Jon Estes - Bass, Cello
Sam Howard - Bass, Vocals
Allison Russell - Vocals
JT Nero - Vocals
Kristin Weber - Violin
Larissa Maestro - Cello
Charlie MCCoy - Vibes
Sheldon Zaharko - Engineering
Gabriel Evan - Co-Writer
