Quebec City’s rising alt-pop star Maelydée is back with a dazzling new single, ‘Sanzaru’, a vibrant, groove-filled release that perfectly captures her knack for pairing irresistible melodies with sharp contemporary themes.
From start to finish, ‘Sanzaru’ is an energetic burst of alternative pop that combines punchy guitars, lo-fi synth textures and effortlessly cool vocals into one of her most exciting tracks yet. Beneath its infectious hooks and feel-good momentum lies a clever exploration of modern overwhelm, inspired by the symbolism of the three wise monkeys and the temptation to tune out the chaos of the world around us.
Already recognised at the Festival International de la Chanson de Granby and a recipient of support from the SOCAN Foundation, Maelydée has steadily built a reputation as one of Canada’s most exciting emerging artists.
As the first taste of a highly anticipated sophomore EP arriving in January 2027, ‘Sanzaru’ feels like a major statement of intent. Bold, intelligent and packed with infectious energy, it’s a thrilling reminder that Maelydée is carving out a truly distinctive space in the alternative pop world.
