Maya on her track 'Sunday Crossword' from her upcoming project, 'Poectic Licence'. On what she can tell us about the project so far, Maya shares: "It tells the story of how I got here.

Interview: Beabadoobee - it's her world, you're just living in it!

Close your eyes and picture an unpainted wooden door... alone and upright by some unnatural force, but so normal-looking, just plain and unassuming, like the front door to your childhood home or a grandparent's house.
