Octo Octa’s (Maya Bouldry-Morrison) latest EP “For Lovers”, represents some of the artist’s most vulnerable work to date. The opening song “I Need You” is a declaration regarding her need for love during a delicate time of rapid change. The first vocal performance Maya has recorded in many years and the first since transition, features the voice of a woman who has been though an intense personal struggle, and through that come to a place of understanding that she is not alone. That the people in her life—her friends, her family, and her polyamorous lovers—are, and have been, essential to her process of self-acceptance and becoming.
The second song, “Bodies Melt Together” is a sensuous house dub that reflects Maya’s belief that physical connections with her partners is—at its most elevated—a profound spiritual catharsis. The gorgeous closing track, “Loops For Healing” was not originally intended for release, it was—-as the title suggests —-composed as a personal tool for healing.
