When you've finished dancing around the room to Ivo's Sunday morning wake up.  We're going to ease you into the afternoon with more sounds from Australia.

I’ve been a huge fan of MAÏA ever since she first popped up on my radar over a year ago. Her sound is part of the new movement in R&B in what they refer to as “chilled-out, downtempo, left-of-centre vibes”, and this description is definitely on point.

Through her distinctive style she's been gaining a fair amount of buzz, and with her brand-new track, “Life Is A Lie.”, the buzz is set to continue.

The songs hypnotic soundscapes was produced by intrnet, while lyrically the singer tells the tale of self-discovery, so not your usual R&B fodder.

If you're digging this new R&B movement driven by artist like SZA, Rochelle Jordan and Kelela then you'll love this. Head over to her SoundCloud for more dreamy gems such as her reworking of Kelis’ ‘Millionaire’.

Happy Sunday!
