Known for her cinematic storytelling and soul-pop intensity, MayaAgnes continues to prove why she’s one of the most compelling new voices emerging from Canada’s scene. Following her breakout moments on Markham’s Got Talent and America’s Next Top Hitmaker, she steps into deeper waters with Starve, a track that feels less like pop and more like a confession set to music.
The production blends adult contemporary warmth with cinematic rock drama. Piano and strings lead the charge, with percussive builds that mimic the internal tension of someone battling their reflection. The mix leaves space for her voice, trembling, powerful, and painfully honest, to take center stage.
MayaAgnes holds nothing back. “Mirror on the wall, I’m no fairest of them all” opens the track like a gut punch, setting the tone for the inner dialogue that follows. She exposes the vicious cycle of insecurity and control with lines like, “So I’ll toss the meals or put a finger down my throat and make them believe I’m fine.” The refrain “Please help me” echoes like a silent scream, layered with haunting “Heat, heat, heat” chants that symbolize both self-destruction and burning renewal.

But despite its darkness, Starve is ultimately about survival. It’s the moment when you stop hiding your scars and start reclaiming them. MayaAgnes turns private pain into collective power, crafting a song that speaks to anyone who’s ever felt trapped by impossible beauty standards.
Raw, cinematic, and brutally honest, Starve solidifies MayaAgnes as not just a singer, but a storyteller unafraid to face the mirror, and let us see the reflection too.
