tooth fairy – Mae Krell

Following on from her acclaimed debut EP ‘imposter syndrome’, New York-based singer and songwriter Mae Krell has just released her new single, “tooth fairy,” It’s a previously unreleased track which came out of the sessions for the EP and is a beautiful, introspective about coming to the realization that you may be better off without someone who you previously thought was indispensable.

Mae elaborates: “I wrote it after I found out that someone who used to be my best friend moved to the city where I grew up. It felt like tearing open an old wound that I didn’t know I had, and also put me in a spot to question: if the chance were to arise, would I want to give them a second chance? That’s something I’m still trying to figure out.”
