Mae Stephens landed a breakthrough smash hit with ‘If We Ever Broke Up’. Reaching #13 in the UK during a ten-week Top 20 run, it became a huge airplay hit, was certified Gold in both the UK and US, and fired to #1 on key charts in Japan and China. Now the British artist is primed for a second major international hit as she unveils her new single ‘Woah Man!’. Listen HERE.
‘Woah Man!’ bounces with many of the same traits that made ‘If We Ever Broke Up’ so memorable. It’s a cocktail of luminous alt-pop addictiveness, with pulsating funk-tinged bass cementing a groove as Mae’s appealingly pure vocals celebrate what it means to be a woman. Despite that, Mae’s girl-next-door charm and authenticity doesn’t shy away from the truth – beautiful imperfections in the face of body image stereotypes – but they’re all part of what makes every one of us unique. Ultimately ‘Woah Man!’ is an anthem perfectly in tune with International Women’s Month.
Music has always been an escape for Mae Stephens. It was her creative outlet and day-to-day escape when she was bullied at school. And it turned out to be an escape in her adult life too when her TikTok virality saw her land a record deal that meant she could give up her job in a supermarket.
Her immensely broad appeal is reflected in some of the major names that she has performed with,including guest slots at both BLACKPINK and P!NK’s BST Hyde Park shows as well as with Tom Grennan in Gunnersbury Park.
More about Mae’s unique story can be heard on ‘The Hidden 20%’ podcast. She tells host Ben Branson about how her ADHD fuels her songwriting, the transformative power of therapy, and why she embraces the weird and wonderful.
