\u200bLoneliness Awareness Week <\/a><\/strong>(June 17-21), spearheaded by the <\/strong>Marmalade Trust<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>charity, an organization created to tackle feelings of social isolation.  <\/p>\n

Why is it needed? Because we live in a world where we are constantly connected. Through the simple click of a button, the picturesque aspects of our friends\u2019 lives on Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, you name it, we are bombarded.<\/p>\n

Yet, despite the ease a technologically advanced world provides us, it has also facilitated a platform for people to compare themselves to others which often leads to feeling lonely or inadequate. The unique facet of loneliness is the way it can wash over us even when others surround us.  But, even though common, it\u2019s taboo to bring loneliness up \u2013 even to those we trust. <\/p>\n

Bristol-based indie pop pair Mauwe<\/strong><\/a> is working to alleviate this stigma as well with their new single, Ain\u2019t it Magical. <\/em>The voices of Portia Conn<\/strong> and Jay Rodger <\/strong>overlay on this track, coming together to convey an eerily beautiful expression of the way going out and surrounding yourself with others can often feel so meaningless.<\/p>\n

“Ain\u2019t it Magical” is a song for the people out there who feel they are dancing to a different beat. The individuals who want something more and the creatives that are tired of the same regurgitated social routines. –Mauwe<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mauwe said, \u201cWe wrote it based on that feeling that can often creep up at a party…when you aren\u2019t connecting with the people around you, or even that you\u2019re not remotely on the same wavelength.\u201d  The duo first earned attention from their first single in 2017 That\u2019s All<\/em>, which racked in more than 5.5 million Spotify<\/strong> streams. “Loneliness manifests in different ways for different times, and in this one it’s almost exasperation we are talking about, exasperation with the need to escape and change something,” said Mauwe. <\/p>\n

Since then, Mauwe has come out with more singles including “Balcony Dreams” <\/em>and “Sexy Glass,” <\/em>which both have a tinge of a darker sound while still encapsulating the complimenting layering of Conn and Rodgers\u2019 voices.<\/p>\n
