Maura Weaver has been honing her flexibility, creativity and knack for writing an addictive hook for over a decade, and on her latest record Strange Devotion (Feel It Records) she fully steps into her power as a songwriter. Strange Devotion blends big pop, twang and rock sounds with beautiful lyrics on desire, loss and resilience, and the collection shows Weaver’s songwriting prowess across genres. “This time around it was most important that I made a record that I was happy with,” explained Weaver. “Feeling comfortable saying, ‘This is what I think, and this is what I want.’” And that self-assuredness reveals itself in the enamoring ten tracks of Strange Devotion.
