The songwriter and
producer of pop, hip hop and RnB known as Mae Scott has released her
latest official single, “I Love U.” The single has been proudly
published as an independent release without the involvement of the
corporate music industry on the Mae Scott record label. Sultry,
classy, and humming with groove, “I Love U” is the newest reason
for fans to applaud this rising entertainer from the American south.
In the past, Pittsburgh, PA's Mae Scott has cited as influences Kanye West, Wiz Khalifa, Kendrick
Lamar, Aaliyah, and R Kelly. Asking her today brings a different
response, however.
“Honestly, I grew
up in that MTV era where music videos were everything,” she writes,
“but I also grew up on indie music videos, as well, by lesser known
channels. Anything that was hot probably influenced me at some point
while I was discovering myself. I'm focused now.”
That focus comes from
living in a larger world than many people live in. A veteran of the
US Army, Mae Scott served a tour in the war in Iraq before attending
college where she started her first indie label, Academy Rhyme Time.
She performed as a cheerleader for the Atlanta Falcons while she
continued honing her music career. To date, she has already been
nominated for a Grammy Award twice.
“My message tells
people to find what their culture is,” says Mae Scott, “or what
they want it to be personally, then go create that.”
This artistic integrity
runs throughout her style.
“Like, you can
have your own cake, make it, and eat it too, with the extra frosting
and everything,” she writes. “Happy birthday. I enjoy making
music uncensored and organically while in my own own space, free and
naked. It's time to express whatever I want, and you better remember
that!”
Mae Scott's “I Love U”
is the most prominent release from the artist since her June 2018
single, “I Can Transform.” That track, too, had similar themes.
“[It's] to not
judge yourself and just run wild with your creation without
self-imposed limits,” she wrote at the time. “So what if you're
nasty? We all are, some of us in front and some of us behind closed
doors.”
“I Love U” by
Mae Scott on the Mae Scott label is available from over 600 quality
digital music stores online worldwide now.
