Not for Radio Lyrics
Not For Radio is the moniker of The Marias lead singer Maria Zardoya. Recently she released her debut solo album, Melt.
Zardoya pours her heart and soul out over the course of Melt's ten songs. Although the lyrical themes never deviate from the central theme of romance, they at least approach the theme from differing angles and perspectives enough to keep the listener from getting bored with what they're hearing. For example, My Turn is written from the perspective of a partner who's reeling from the guilt of having done something to significantly hurt their loved one, while Back To You is about the feelings of longing for a lost partner while simultaneously accepting the reality that the relationship is gone for good. Although this subject matter is far from unique, Zardoya's expressive and imaginative lyrics help to elevate the songs and give them a more mature, adult feel. These lyrics don't feel as if they were pulled from the diary of a teenager; they instead feel as though you're listening to the candid, inner thoughts of a heartbroken romantic.
Maria Zardoya has shown herself to be an amazing lyricist, as well as a gifted composer.
