Award-winning Liverpool-based neo-jazz artist Ni Maxine returns with ‘Mother’s Arms’, the title track from her forthcoming debut EP, out March 4 via Ripe Records.

Direct and emotionally unguarded, ‘Mother’s Arms’ examines identity, generational trauma and the complicated inheritance passed between mothers and daughters. The track superbly focuses on that safety and restraint found in maternal love.

“There is love and safety in being held in your mother’s arms,” Maxine says. “When I was a child, my mum would hold me tightly until I stopped crying and caught my breath. That feeling stayed with me.”
