It’s our second last door on the Essential Advent Calendar, and today we have some musical artists talking about their favourite Christmas party memories.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

First up is Maisly, a Nordic Pop Queen that\u2019s caught the attention of global tastemakers with her fearless country-pop fusions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mostly when I think of Christmas I see myself clad in a Bridget Jones-like ugly Christmas jumper, embarrassing myself in front of a crush.<\/p>\n

Last year, I came even closer to being Bridget because at my parents\u2019 company holiday party I met a gorgeous 6 foot tall lawyer, who I was utterly crazy about. The night was perfect, we talked, we laughed, everything was going swimmingly… he could have been my Mark Darcy… but then.. my mother had to intersect…<\/p>\n

They got friendly, he seemed like a dream! They got along well – perfect! Until… my mom turns around and introduces him to Mike, a sweet but I mean, I truly think everyone is gorgeous whatever their shape and size but for the sake of the story and trying to impress a hottie – a balding, chubby, short programmer – a long time family friend and my…. \u201cback-up husband\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cHottie\u2019s\u201d face immediately changes and gets all red and flustered. My mom doesn\u2019t notice and just continues to go on and on about my dating struggles, how I can never keep a man down, can\u2019t cook and made an agreement with \u201cMike\u201d because we both just can\u2019t seem to find anyone and don\u2019t want to die alone…<\/p>\n

Safe to say, I didn\u2019t get a date with hottie, but got a back-up husband. Maybe hottie was more Daniel Cleaver and Mike is my destiny, my Mark Darcy..\u00a0 I mean… they share the same first letter of their name.. only time will tell.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Maisly’s new single, ‘Rumour’, boasts an angelic innocence within her voice, juxtaposed within the narrative of relationship distrust. It\u2019s an emotionally-exposed track underpinned by powerful guitar lines, and uneasingly slow reverb, and represents the determined search for truth. ‘Rumour’ follows in a long line of progressive pop pieces from this dynamic young artist.<\/p>\n
