The geography of the heart has its own time zones, its own brutal, sunlit delays. Stasi Mai maps this territory with the devastating precision of a cartographer who knows the distance between Los Angeles and London is not measured in miles, but in the cold, empty space on a mattress.
Her new single, “Wake Up Next To You,” is a document from the front lines of a long-distance war, a rallying cry forged in the quiet hell of a silent bedroom.

“Wake Up Next To You” plants its flag firmly in the rich soil of modern Americana, where the genre-bending spirit of Shaboozey meets the unvarnished truth-telling of Brandi Carlile and the vintage charm of Sierra Ferrell. But Stasi Mai’s voice is entirely her own—a clear, steady vessel carrying a cargo of specific, haunting details. This is the sound of that realization, dressed in its Sunday best, dancing through the pain with a harmonica in its hand and an unshakable belief in the person on the other side of the ocean.
