Nottingham-based electropop artist Lucy Crisp returns with her boldest single to date. Released on 28th May 2025, ‘Maze’ transforms the confusion of early adulthood into a dazzling anthem. With soaring synths, candid lyrics, and an irresistible sense of momentum, Lucy captures the heart-racing panic and hope of finding your way through your twenties.
Written during a chaotic period in her life, ‘Maze’ feels both deeply personal and instantly relatable. “Being lost in your twenties is like trying to use Google Maps with 1% battery—pure chaos,” Lucy says. “Maze is my past year squished into an electropop anthem. So if it sounds like an existential rollercoaster, that’s because it is.”
A sonic rollercoaster with soul
From its first notes, ‘Maze’ throws the listener into a whirlwind of synth textures and sharp pop hooks. The track blends atmospheric production with Lucy’s raw, expressive vocals. Her voice carries the weight of self-doubt while still reaching for something brighter.
Lucy wrote the song herself, working remotely with producer Isaac Ashby (General Waste Studios). Their collaboration results in a track that’s sleek, emotional, and completely alive. The verses build tension, the chorus explodes with clarity, and the outro leaves a lasting sense of exhilaration.
Fans already love ‘Maze’. It’s become a standout moment in her live sets. In fact, the song’s first lines came to Lucy in the toilets at Rescue Rooms in Nottingham—a fitting start for a track born out of spontaneous emotion.
A defining moment in Lucy’s journey
Although Lucy has always blended introspection with innovation, ‘Maze’ takes that fusion to a new level. The lyrics reflect not only confusion, but resilience. They show how uncertainty can be just as powerful as clarity. “Maze” isn’t just about being lost—it’s about learning to move anyway.
This track also marks a turning point. With more music coming later this year, Lucy continues to evolve as one of the most exciting voices in UK electropop. Her influences—Lorde, Imogen Heap, and Ellie Goulding—shine through. Still, she adds something uniquely hers: a raw honesty that grounds every synth line and lyric.
