Maxie Melpomene’s “Silent Waters Run Deep”: A Stirring Debut Single

With her debut single “Silent Waters Run Deep,” Leipzig-based singer-songwriter Maxie Melpomene introduces the world to her deeply introspective indie soul-pop sound. The first single from her forthcoming EP Heretofore, this track is a poignant exploration of personal identity and the struggle to break free from familial ties and inherited trauma. Melpomene, who studied songwriting at ICMP in London, delivers a hauntingly beautiful piece that encapsulates emotional depth and raw vulnerability.

In “Silent Waters Run Deep,” Maxie reflects on how we are shaped by our parents' experiences and traumas, struggling to carve out our own path in life. She poignantly asks, “If I only know this path that has been lived, how can I find my own?” This introspective narrative is matched by her fragile, soulful vocals, which carry the weight of her personal story with sensitivity and grace.

Produced by Luise London, and mixed by Simon “Mass” Massey, the production complements the raw honesty of Melpomene’s lyrics, allowing her voice to shine through the ambient music. 

The track’s emotional resonance is amplified by a compelling music video that depicts the breakdown of an ordinary family dinner, mirroring the unspoken conflicts and unresolved emotional battles at the heart of the song.

Maxie’s years of songwriting experience are evident in every note of "Silent Waters Run Deep," making her solo debut a standout. 

As she continues to collaborate with artists across Europe, this release signals the start of an exciting new chapter in her career, one rooted in authenticity, emotional depth, and artistic growth.
