Israeli-American singer-songwriter, Maki Supa, is back with a new EP ?Noon to Nine?. Previously, the artist had released two albums under the stage name Friends of John?s, but now after a five-year break from music, he is back with ?Noon to Nine? under the new guise of Maki Supa. The EP itself contains expertly made music merged with melodies in ?Inspirational Song #12?, ?Somewhere in Bretagne? and ?What Kind Of Day Has It Been?, all of which showcase a vocal style that is pure gold bullion, hypnotic melodic sounds that span both rock, indie, and dance-pop, and a prominent homage to R.E.M.

In creating this latest music Maki Supa had help from skilled producer Shai Saadia, who has been working on his craft for over twenty years and who gave the artist the help he needed to piece this EP together. With Saadia, Supa achieved a unique soundscape to serve as the foundation for his meandering texts and powerful, melodic delivery.

Yet it is Supa?s strident reasoning for creating his new style that perhaps speaks volumes for his overriding reason to make music in the first place ?

?I?m not impressed by most things happening in music today, and think we have an image first culture? all in all, we have people who have never read a book writing lyrics, and other people who can?t tell a chord from a cord writing songs, so we shouldn?t be surprised that this is what we?re getting.?
- Maki Supa

Somewhere In Bretagne, released August 30, 2022, Inspirational Song #12, and What Kind Of Day Has It Been, scheduled for a December 1, 2022 release.

The working relationship between the musician and Saadia has resulted in the Noon To Nine Sessions, in which the pair aim to complete a song from recording to mix in a single nine hour session, and which led to sessions in which ideas were quickly tried and discarded, in an attempt to ?crack? the song as quickly as they could while maintaining the quality of Maki Supa?s previous releases, and which have resulted in the three songs completed thus far for the ?Noon to Nine? project. All three songs are made with completely different sounds, styles and deliveries, but always centred around Maki Supa?s superb melodies and evocative lyrics.

As Supa continues in relation to the all- important creative process,

?I prefer writing melody first, though some lyrics will find their way in there that are worth keeping. But different approaches will lead to different sounding songs, so I like to dabble anywhere.?

Maki Supa is without a shadow of a doubt a brilliant artist, who is capable of conjuring up sounds that breaks barriers, avoiding the easy steps and drawing listeners into an expansive sound eco-system that serves as a map for musical thoughts. A real thinking person?s musician, Maki Supa is an architect of sound that needs to be heard.

Giving fans a glimpse of what was to come, Maki Supa released ?Somewhere in Bretagne? on August 30th, and if current release ?Inspirational Song #12?, and ?What Kind of Day Has It Been?, scheduled for release on December 1st, can live up to the same heights, Maki Supa will be one to watch.
