from We Talk About Music · host We Write About Music
Some songs feel like time capsules — tiny sonic spaceships hurtling through decades, landing in the present with a burst of nostalgia and a wink to the past. Michelle MaxiNe’s latest single, “Milky Way”, is exactly that: a shimmering, irresistibly fun homage to the glitter-soaked, heart-on-your-sleeve era of ‘80s disco pop, reframed through the lens of a modern romantic. And the result is pure starlight.Born in Baku, Azerbaijan, and raised in the Netherlands, MaxiNe’s creative trajectory is as multifaceted as her cultural background. A former classical singer turned fashion model, stylist, and now rising pop auteur, she’s been steadily building a sound that’s as eclectic as her resume. And while her earlier works hinted at this expansive artistic curiosity, “Milky Way” feels like the moment everything clicks into place.
