It&#8217;s satire of course &#8211; or is it?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tina Tara divides her time between London and Los Angeles, and her style is a blend of sleek Cali glamour, crossed with a somewhat spikey London attitude. &#8216;Maybe&#8217; is the follow-up to her previous singles released last year &#8211; &#8216;Arriba&#8217;, which was a Latin-pop fusion track, and &#8216;Worth It&#8217;, with its effortlessly sexy sound. Her co-writer for both tracks was Anthony Goldsbrough, a multi-instrumentalist who&#8217;s worked with the likes of Bastille, Ed Sheeran, Hozier, and Olly Murs. Goldsbrough also produces &#8216;Maybe&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Maybe&#8217; is the perfect showcase for Tina Tara&#8217;s vocal talent, as well as her playful &#8211; and somewhat naughty &#8211; personality. Originally released on Valentine&#8217;s Day, it&#8217;s achieved even more relevance now as we all learn to live in isolation from one another.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Just like her previous clips, Tina shows she&#8217;s a natural in front of the camera for &#8216;Maybe&#8217;, and she presents herself as funny, self-aware, and downright compelling. She is all girl, and completely in command. Her robot boyfriend &#8211; or rather a series of boyfriends &#8211; cooks, cleans, trains, and looks after her in the bedroom. When he malfunctions, or otherwise is worn out (!) Tina is straight online ordering a new, and possibly upgraded model. Is it a poke at consumerist culture? or is it rather in anticipation of what may yet lay ahead of us?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Find Tina Tara on her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.TinaTaraOfficial.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block;
