Lisbon-born, London-based songwriter Maripool has dropped her latest cut, ‘Crossing’. On this tune, she brings together influences from shoegaze and alt-indie, with a simplistic acoustic guitar opening topped by her distinctive voice giving way to a texture that slowly builds toward a hazy chorus. “This song is inspired by a bridge that connects Lisbon to Almada,” she says. “My favourite memories as a kid are of crossing that bridge with my parents on a hot summer day, because it always meant we were going somewhere nice. The room where I did the residency overlooked this bridge, and looking at it every day brought back so many memories of my upbringing, my mum and dad, and all those times we crossed the bridge.” Maripool’s debut album, Rotten Luck, is out on August 28th, 2026, via Smoking Room / Lost Wisdom.
