Maya Unagi returns with a new single, ‘Stumbling'

Maya Unagi, who has woven strands of classic rock, jazz, and R&B into her distinctive sound, shares her new single, “Stumbling.” Having explored sound through production and music for over a decade, with the quiet confidence that belongs to an artist who knows herself and is unhurried, she beckons listeners on a meditative voyage, enveloped by analogue warmth and delicate percussion. At the same time, they cradle her plaintive, expressive voice.

In its first notes, “Stumbling” feels like a long-lost diary entry, self-deprecating and minatory, with a wry glance at the sputtering chromosomes that dwelled in the world of “Song for My Father.” Unagi’s grounding in classical music is impossible to miss in her lilting melodic turns, but her profound connection to jazz suffuses each phrase with playful freedom. Anchored by softly plucked strings and a whispered snares-and-shakers rhythm, the song unfurls gradually, patient and forgiving, just like the worthiness it advocates.

The single " Stumbling” is a confession and a benediction. Unagi compassionately speaks to her past selves, admitting missteps and moments of doubt without judgment. Lines wobble in and out of focus, mimicking how memories emerge in dreams. It’s in this place between clarity and ambiguity that Unagi finds her most potent groove. The grain of the tape machine and the breath on the microphone are almost senseable. These analog textures ground the listener in the physical world, even as Unagi’s ethereal voice sounds like it could waft through the studio walls. The theme gently swells at crucial moments, string harmonics sparkling like sunlight on water, for instance, then shrinks away, making plenty of space for contemplation.

“Stumbling” reminds us that some of the richest moments in life happen off the beat. By placing faith in a slower pace, she chooses not to run but to meander and, more so, to revel in the exquisite haze of the unfolding future. She has clearly taken this lesson to heart, turning her own anxieties into an invitation for all of us to slow down, forgive ourselves, and continue, however haltingly, to move forward.
