Indie Folk Singer-Songwriter Riley Pearce Shares New Single “Habit” Featuring Maddy May

With his debut album The Water & The Rough out into the world, Australian indie singer-songwriter Riley Pearce has shared his second single of the year with “Habit”. Featuring fellow folk artist Maddy May, the new track and its video are a delicate offering that showcases the pair’s natural chemistry and heartfelt songwriting.

“There was something so magical about writing this song together,” shares Riley. “I think there’s always a lot of things going on in our lives that don’t let us be our true selves or cause our true self to be lost along the way and I think that’s where this song comes from. It’s about realizing you haven’t been honest with yourself or have been trying to fit a mold, follow someone else’s path and are realizing this and trying to bring yourself back.”

Elaborating further about the songwriting experience, Maddy adds, “The first time Riley and I met was for this co-write, it was beautiful going from strangers to getting to know each other in one of the most vulnerable ways. Riley shared a lyric idea with me, and I started crying and then he started crying too and I felt like we were onto something special.”

Subtle electronica production seeps into the song’s foundation, as Riley & Maddy’s voices intertwine about making mistakes and feeling stuck in one’s old ways.
