Ride-or-Die Love Takes Center Stage in Maya Kuriel’s New Single “Alibi”

Rising pop sensation, Maya Kuriel, has officially dropped her second single of 2025, "Alibi" — a brooding, cinematic anthem that fuses passion with peril. Released today, the track showcases Maya’s signature

ability to turn intense emotion into immersive sonic experiences. "This song is for anyone who's ever chosen love over logic," says Maya.

Produced by Gavin Hudner and co-written by Maya, Julia Joy Thompson, Gavin Hudner, and Peyton Incollingo, "Alibi" plunges listeners into a shadowy world where loyalty and secrecy reign supreme. With moody, atmospheric production and evocative lyrics, the song paints a vivid portrait of two lovers on the run — bound by a vow to protect each other at all costs. Imagine Bonnie and Clyde reimagined for the digital age: late-night getaways, new identities, and a relentless pursuit of freedom and love.

"Alibi" follows Maya’s earlier 2025 release, "Dead Weight," a chilling and emotionally raw track that delves into the heavy toll of toxic relationships. While "Dead Weight" explored emotional entrapment, "Alibi" flips the script, celebrating a reckless yet unwavering devotion. With her genre-blurring storytelling and hauntingly emotional vocal delivery, Maya Kuriel continues to carve out a bold new space in the pop landscape.
