Maisie Peters adopts a more anxious, more confident persona on “My Regards,” a song that seems to come with a wink and a smile. As the newest morsel of her forthcoming third studio album, "Florescence," the track indicates a vertical evolution, one in which both wit and strength seem to wear differently on Venus’ sleeves.
Co-written with Nick Lobel and co-produced with Ian Fitchuk, “My Regards” revels in its flippant insolence. Driven by old-school country stand by your man tropes, Peters turns the script on its head. Far from the soft, submissive image demanded of women in love songs, she’s a protective badass who delivers her message with humor and finesse. It’s sexy without putting in too much effort, funny without sacrificing its sharpness, and empowering without forcing the issue.
“My Regards” feels like an artist relishing in her growth as it happens, unafraid to walk down paths that were never fully illuminated. It is a love song for the modern age with balls, and proof that strength, laughter and punch-drunk romance can all co-exist in the same kiss. With "Florescence" on the horizon, Maisie Peters is definitely entering a new era one where she’s in charge of the narrative she weaves.
