On March 14, Sydney-based artist Maina Doe released a new single called “Lucid Dreams.” With a melodic and captivating intro, “Lucid Dreams” is a silvery song with a mellow vibe. The fascinating song portrays a dispute with oneself about the importance of self-confidence and charity contrary to the value of self-care and vanity. While clearly displaying the significance of inner battles, “Lucid Dreams” also has an enchanting tune and a mesmerizing beat.

Previously known as Nasra, Maina Doe was born and raised in Indonesia, and currently lives in Sydney, Australia. She mostly performs R&B style music, and has released several singles, each a unique and memorable masterpiece. On Feb. 15, Doe released a single named “Witness” that grabbed quite a lot of attention, raising her profile significantly. With a growing collection of enticing singles, Doe is sure to gain the media attention she deserves.

A quote from Doe on MusicFeeds says, “‘Lucid’ is really about my own vanity. The need to be better than versus the happiness of accepting things the way they are. I don’t need to be the best version of myself all the time. Nobody does.” The new song has a lot to offer, a perfect mix of R&B and soft pop.

While elegance oozes from every second of the song, its depth surfaces and its meaning rings true. The powerful lyric, “How can you go up if you’ve never gone down?” repeatedly questions the struggle of moving forward after disappointment, devastation, or rejection. Though setbacks are aggravating and worrisome, they pave the path for acceptance, growth, and ultimately happiness.
