Stumbling

South Asian-American songstress Maya Unagi returns with Stumbling, a delicate, slow-burning track that invites listeners to sink into stillness. Known for her lush, genre-blurring sound, Maya draws on her classical roots and deep ties to jazz and R&B to craft a song that feels both timeless and quietly radical. The track unfurls gently, layered with analogue textures, strings, and soft percussion—like a late-night confession whispered across generations. It’s a meditation on self-forgiveness, uncertainty, and the beauty of moving slowly in a fast-moving world.

The single, produced by Curran Sinha (Noname, Common), features an understated but richly textured lineup: bass by Karim Hutton (Summer Walker), harp by Sara Kawai (Miley Cyrus), and Maya herself on keys, composition, and co-production. It’s a poignant taste of her upcoming EP, which boasts an all-star roster including Itai Shapira (Beyoncé), Bubby Lewis (Jhene Aiko), and Aaron Liao (Raveena). In a music landscape often driven by algorithms and trends, Stumbling is a quiet act of resistance—perfect for slow walks, quiet mornings, and anyone craving music with depth and soul.
