Dutch dream-pop act Maida Rose have unveiled their new single “Within.”

The track, which can be heard below, is out on digital services via Believe. Vocalist Roos said this about the new track:

“'Within’ is the only song that we have that's happy and about love. Though we normally like to explore all our darker feelings, it felt ignorant to not give any attention on this strong feeling of love, that is such a big part of adolescence.

The funny thing is that 'Within II' (which is a slow version of this single that's currently unreleased) was actually written first. I wrote that from a very deep, emotional place. But when I was feeling really happy in love, the song didn't quite capture how I felt. Therefore, the idea came to make another version of 'Within', but upbeat.

I feel like love has many shades and forms, and though the melody and lyrics of ‘Within' fit well to these different forms, the energy and mood of being in love can differ from moment to moment. That’s why I love that we now have a version for both ends of the spectrum."

Since 2009, MP3s and NPCs owner Terrance Pryor has written about music, conventions, cosplay, and video games for publications such as AXS, Examiner, Fake Walls, and Ranker. Based out of Los Angeles, the former rock concert promoter/radio host can be seen talking about rock music on AXS TV’s Music’s Greatest Mysteries and discussing music and whatever else on their Black Man Talks Rock channel on YouTube.
