New York, NY (Top40 Charts) "It was right after Mardi Gras and there was still glitter, beads and pieces of costumes in the streets, littering the wet, black pavement," says frontwoman Lizzie Edwards on the making of Lizzie & The Maker's new ethereal indie roots track "Mermaid," released today and produced by renowned producers Reeves Gabrels (David Bowie, Tin Machine) and Mario J. McNulty (David Bowie, Prince).
"I was nursing a broken heart and just started journaling as I was walking around. Pete's Candy Store is like my home away from home, so I went there for solace, old friendships, and just started writing what I saw around me to try to process why my relationship with this person had suddenly shifted from close to distant."
The accompanying music video (also released today) was mostly filmed at Art Factory Studios in Paterson, NJ and reflects the somber yet powerful sentiments behind the track, "emerging from a dark cave and going toward the light," Edwards says.

After working out some initial instrumentals, Edwards brought the track to guitarist and songwriting partner Greg McMullen who turned the slow blues chord progression into an "amped up Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings vibe." While sitting at the bar and listening to the track, Edwards drew inspiration for lines like "homemade dynamo" (Fireball Whiskey) "old crow voodoo" (Old Crow Bourbon) "two hearted pale boy" (Bells IPA) that eventually became the opening lyrics.
Diving deeper into the lyrics she was suddenly inspired by the Kate Bush song "Running Up That Hill" but instead of making a "deal with God" like Bush's song suggests, Edwards wondered what it would be like to "switch places with the heartbreaker."
