THE MARÍAS PUBBLICANO L’ATTESISSIMO NUOVO SINGOLO “BACK TO ME”
Grammy-nominated band,The Marías release their highly anticipated new single “Back To Me"and drop surprise track “Nobody New” via Nice Life Recording Company/Atlantic Records.The band also shared the official music video for “Back to Me,” directed by C Prinz.
Produced by Josh Conway and written together “Back to Me” is a song of desperation & yearning. The dreamy synths, heavy bass and catchy lyrics make for an addicting listen. Surprise single “Nobody New” matches the theme of loneliness as lead singer María Zardoya’s Latin vocals enhance the melancholic slowed down track. Benny Blanco is credited as a writer on the B-Side and it was produced by Josh Conway & María. The two new tracks come ahead of the band’s return to the desert to perform at Coachella next weekend.
On the release María shares “‘Back to me’ was written a couple months after Submarine was complete. We were jamming in the studio as a band, and the guys were experimenting with some new synth sounds and ominous chords. I immediately went into the vocal booth, and the melody and lyrics came to me faster than any other song. It felt like divine intervention. After finishing it, it felt like the start of a new era beyond Submarine. Consider it an introduction to a new world.”
“Submarine dealt with the raw emotions of going through a heartbreak right after it happened. ‘Back to me’ is what comes after – the breakup actually happens when an ex moves on to someone new. It deals with the emotions that come along with that. Even though in the end you may not want them back at all, in the moment, that’s all you want to relieve the pain” .
Fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of “Back to Me” since the band initially teased it during their run opening for Billie Eilish last winter. The single release comes in the midst of a series of headline shows across Latin America in addition to festival performances at Lollapalooza Argentina, Chile & Brazil. The Marías will also hit additional US festivals including Lollapalooza in Chicago & Hinterland in Iowa.
Most recently, The Marías were featured on Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco’s new track, “Ojos Tristes”. Reviewed as a standout track from the album, the band is also credited as producers and songwriters. “Ojos Tristes” has garnered over 20 million global streams in less than a week of release and debuted at #59 the Billboard Hot 100.
The Marías continue their momentum off the heels of their sophomore album Submarine (2024) which received great critical praise and debuted at #17 on the Billboard Top 200 upon release. Hit single “No One Noticed” from the album is currently peaking at #17 on Top 40 radio and marked the band’s highest charting Billboard Hot 100 single to date, reaching #22. Continuing their charting success, The Marías currently have four songs on the Spotify US 200 Chart; “No One Noticed” at #19, “Ojos Tristes” at #52, “Sienna” at #148 and “Heavy” at #173. The band delivered a stunning performance of the track on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon earlier this year.
