Sydney-based singer-songwriter Maina Doe released a new single “Lucid Dreams” on the 14th of March. The song delves into the inner conflict between vanity and self-compassion.
Maina Doe explained the meaning behind her single. “Lucid is really about my own vanity. The need to be better than vs the happiness of accepting things the way they are. I don’t need to be the best version of myself all the time. Nobody does. It’s talking my vanity and saying – I see you, I forgive you and we’re cool.”

The single portrays Maina’s battle with the constant urge to be her absolute best versus the understanding that imperfection is acceptable. The production of “Lucid Dreams” is quite minimalistic, however, it shows elegance and depth, with Maina’s soulful vocals weaving effortlessly throughout the textured soundscape.
Maina Doe found her voice in Baduga, Indonesia, where she was born and raised. Her creativity stemmed from the vibrant and tropical environment. However, she now resides in Sydney, Australia. She is deeply immersed in the city’s vibrant jazz, soul, and R&B scenes.
Her music has gained appreciation from various global platforms like BBC1Extra, triple j, FBi, VICE, Acclaim And NME, solidifying her position as one of the most promising talents in the industry.
She also graced the Sydney Opera House stage and supported talents like Masego and others. Her debut in 2022 with ‘Primal Design’ under Valve Sounds showcased her innovative blend of R&B, hip-hop and soul. The subsequent year, ‘LET HER BE,’ featured on CassKidd’s BBC1Xtra ‘On Air Demo,’ where she collaborated with LA artist Merges.
