Maxim Lany Releases “Shadows” ft. Nathan Nicholson Ahead of Debut Album

When trying to process the pure emotion that overflows the mind in challenging times, it is all but uncommon for people to resort to music. For both listeners and creators, it has the ability to help put things in perspective and shed the negative in favor of the positive. Music has been having a similar effect on Maxim Lany during these lockdown times, so much so that he saw fit to put together an entire album full of hope and positivity. An album that has a musically inspired story that starts today with the release of “Shadows” featuring Nathan Nicholson. The track accompanies the announcement of Maxim’s debut artist album that will be released later this year: Closer, You’re Not Alone.

“Shadows” is a signature Maxim Lany track featuring captivating sound design and an outpouring of vocal emotion. The production has a very unified sound design and features marvelous strings and melodic layers underneath. His collaboration with Nathan Nicholson strikes a perfect balance between sonic textures of light and dark for fully emotional listening experience.

“The concept of my debut album stems from the realization that all people struggle with the situation we find ourselves in. I felt that I could make music in order to help others as well as myself, in order to show them that they weren’t alone in this. ‘Closer, You’re Not Alone’ is about bringing people together in a closed world and using music to focus on the positives. I hope this new single with Nathan Nicholson means a step in the right direction for a lot of people in that regard.” – Maxim Lany
