What a beautiful song. I really, really liked the vocals and the lyrics. The arrangement is pure pop folk rock with a 1990s feel and a built-in nostalgia, something very pleasant to hear. I want to hear more.-Célula Pop

Recent review by Roadie Music:
If there's one type of music that's impossible not to connect with, it's romantic pop. It takes you to a memory or a feeling whether it's someone we lost or someone we still love, or even that love that was never returned. All of them perfectly match the soundtrack created by American singer-songwriter Maya Salafia. She follows the style of country pop singers who write sweet and soft songs, very marked by the guitar, drums and with a poetic composition in the lyrics telling different stories.
She is recently releasing her new single called “Everlasting” which is a dedication to love and talks about thinking about the person you love without being with her, but wishing and wondering if she is thinking about you and if she feels the same. She also sings about loving that person just the way they are with flaws and strengths. The important thing is to be with the one we love.
The melody sounds a bit like Taylor Swift's early songs based on country along with pop and strong lyrics. However, Maya's voice is deeper and deeper, maintaining the beauty of the composition and giving a special air to the song.
The single clearly shows Maya's personality and her songwriting style, which is complemented by her other songs, but with “Everlasting” it is already possible to get to know the artist and fall in love with her.
Maya is on the right path of music with her compositions and her unique voice, creating songs that can touch both adults and teenagers, making everyone identify and enchant with her delicacy and charisma. She enters the same artist level as Olivia Rodrigo and Phoebe Bridgers. So it's only a matter of time before Maya hits radio stations and streams around the world because she has talent to spare.
Maya is currently preparing her next song, "In the fall", for an early fall release, and will be working the the production team of Owen Korzec, Performers on the Go, and Brad Young of BKY Studios.
Maya’s music is alive with joy and hope, and is full of melodic hooks, and simple eloquence and poetic beauty that stays with you and creates imagery that creates an everlasting reflection that love is in the air. The new release, “Everlasting”, with its soaring, “can’t help but sing along” chorus and positive vibes, is a classic love pop song with long staying power, and instant shareability. ~Performers on the Go, LLC
The simplicity and subtleties of the lyrics of “Everlasting” bring hope that mutual love will win. You said you’d laugh until you cried, something I never knew. Now all I want is you.
