Mae Deline explores the astronomy of love on “Black Hole”

Does Caroline Polachek have a sibling we donโ€™t know about? Sure sounds that way on Mae Delineโ€™s new single โ€œBlack Hole.โ€

The LA-based artist definitely has Polachekโ€™s gift for brilliant, sinuous melodies and soul-penetrating lyrics. Plus she can probably earn a degree in astrophysics with lines like โ€œIโ€™ve got a black hole, black hole for a heart / Itโ€™s gonna swallow you whole, tear us apart.โ€

Delineโ€™s career got sidetracked by Covid and a family illness, but she has an ambitious slate of 11 singles planned for the remainder of this year. Her pre-Covid work included the hilarious, punky โ€œWedding Cakeโ€ and a rabbit-filled video for a song called โ€œMultiplyโ€ that has one of the most danceable choruses of this decade. She also released โ€œGraffitiโ€, a haunting song about how men often scrawl a โ€œyou-need-fixingโ€ message on the walls of a toxic relationship.

Mae Deline grew up listening to Jewel, Kate Bush and Laurie Anderson โ€“ and she could be on track to reach the heights those artists achieved.
