By the year's end, we will look back and see Mapei as one of the year's best new artists, because not only was her debut beyond the scope of what we've seen from new artists, but now with "Change", her second single, we see another incredible example of her music-making prowess. What sounds like production from her first-time collaborator, Magnus Lidehäll, "Change" features a thunderous, rolling, monolithic soundscape that elevates Mapei's vocals to unheralded heights; and if you've gone through the year not really having a favourite track, you're in luck, because, "Change" is about to be your clear cut favourite from here on out. Look for "Change" to appear on Mapei's forthcoming album, Hey Hey, that's due out September 23 via Downtown Records/Columbia UK. Purchase "Change" on iTunes.
