“Pull Me Out The Dark” by MÆVEY is a soulful, cinematic journey through light and shadow, like a confession and a revival. Released on October 1, 2025, via Baltic Jazz Recordings, the track sees the Welsh-born, Liverpool-based singer-songwriter working with Grammy-winning producer Steve Levine and the legendary Paul Von Mertens, whose brass arrangements lend the song its vintage glow. Co-written with rising soul artist MT Jones, this collaboration blends smoky jazz elegance with a modern emotional rawness that lingers long after the final chord fades.
The song opens with a low hum, steady percussion, and a velvet undercurrent of keys that immediately set a haunting, nocturnal mood. Then MÆVEY’s deep, rich, and mesmerizing voice enters like a warm tide pulling you into her world. With power and restraint, she threads the lines with soulful vulnerability. As she sings, “Pull me out the dark,” the vibrato wavers with richness and authentic vigor. The horn section swells in response, brimming with cinematic grandeur, almost like a spotlight cutting through fog.
Midway through, the rhythm opens up as jazzy piano flickers weave with a gospel-like warmth, while the brass flares soar with a hopeful ache. MÆVEY’s vocal vibrato grows richer as the song progresses, her control immaculate yet tender, just like the vocal divas from the golden era, but with a distinctly modern ache. By the final chorus, her plea transforms into quiet triumph, as if she’s found the light she’d been asking for.
Smooth as honey yet emotionally fierce, “Pull Me Out The Dark” is a cry for help and a celebration of rescue, as it testifies to the soul’s resilience, dressed in pure, golden jazz-soul elegance.
