Mareya has released her new EP Glitter Tears, and at its centre sits ‘In My Head’, a track that captures both her creative momentum and her sharpest sonic turn to date.
‘In My Head’ stands out as a confident nod to on-trend alternative dance, pairing pop-leaning hooks with an immediate sense of drive. From the opening seconds, the track grips with forward motion, clean rhythmic pressure, and a sense of urgency that carries through its full runtime. It feels built for movement while still retaining the emotional clarity that runs through Mareya’s songwriting.
The track arrives following a run of releases that secured consistent Apple Music Editorial playlisting, pushing Mareya to No.18 on the Apple New Pop Charts, where she continues to climb. That context frames ‘In My Head’ as more than a highlight. It is a marker of progression, balancing accessibility with a clear artistic edge.
As part of Glitter Tears, the track fits into a broader narrative of internal conflict, vulnerability, and resilience. The EP explores the contrast between outward confidence and the emotional weight beneath, turning private struggle into something bold and expressive. ‘In My Head’ captures that duality clearly, pairing introspective themes with an energised, uplifting delivery.
Born in New Zealand and now based in Naarm (Melbourne), Mareya has carved out a space as a genre-bending producer, songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist. Her earlier work achieved chart success in Brazil and built international radio support across the UK, Europe, and the US. At the same time, live performances alongside names such as The Veronicas have continued to expand her profile.
Now signed to Tomboi Records, Mareya steps into this new chapter with intent. Glitter Tears feels focused, emotionally direct, and sonically assured. With ‘In My Head’, she positions herself firmly within the current alternative dance conversation, delivering a track that is immediate, energetic, and impossible to ignore.
