Apart from “quarantine” and “lockdown”, a contender for 2020’s word of the year has to be “uncertainty”. Our recording sessions came to a grinding halt in March and we were stuck indoors through most of the year, unsure of when we’d be able to get back into the studio again. Yet, as we look back at 2020 (even though many of us may not want to), the one thing that remained the same was darn good music. So let’s enjoy some of the best performances on Maed in India last year.

Breathing can come in different forms - short, deep, light, and heavy just to name a few. This episode is meant to be a stress-reliever, a calming breath to settle the nerves so we can keep on keeping on. A lot of the songs on this mixtape have been written during the lockdown and talk about how we feel about our nights, our days, our friends, and our lives. So take a deep breath and dive in.

With the untoward and unpredictable times we find ourselves in, it’s time to go back to simpler things in life. The little joys that give us more grounding now than ever before. Our latest chapter of Maed in India, brings you quite a few love songs and so, Mae has named this Maed Mixtape, bhindi. Her love affair with bhindi is overwhelming, emotional, undying and most probably unrequited. And yet, there is always a piece of bhindi in her heart. This is dedicated to all the different kinds of love we have in this world.

With a world in crisis, what better way to comfort your anxious and weary soul than curling up in bed and snuggling with your pillow. It’s been the comfort of my life and this mixtape is dedicated to the possessions that make you feel good. The songs we offer up talk about hope, staying optimistic, and self-realisation. Yeah, we’re trying to stay positive as you can tell.
