Maya Jane Coles gives us her take on Sam Smith's "Lay Me Down"

Maya Jane Coles has kept very busy since her debut album, Comfort, came out two years ago.  She's done a collaborative EP with GAPS, a few handfuls of remixes and assorted releases, and of course, toured constantly.  Just last week, she announced a debut LP from her bass-centric Nocturnal Sunshine project, and shared the lead track, "Take Me There."  Now she's given us a remix of Sam Smith's "Lay Me Down"  basically feels like a victory lap.

While it's not something that would necessarily come to mind, Maya and Sam Smith are a great combination.  She takes away all of the song's epic grandeur, instead looping some of its more subdued lines that fit Coles' aesthetic.  The result is a match made in heaven, a great producer and a great voice coming together.

I received my degree in English from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, and Virginia is still home. Apart from my yearly pilgrimage to Moogfest and occasional shows in DC, Detroit, and New York, I like to stick to the fringes, with an eye always open toward music that is forward-thinking and unique, whatever the genre.
