Maisie Peters enters a new era with Florescence! After the intensity of The Good Witch, her third album turns toward a new style. The new style also shapes Maisie’s artist persona by shaping her way of producing music. Significantly, the playful sound of “My Regards” and the duet chemistry of “Kingmaker” show Maisie in a softer, more grounded light.
Brand New Chapter in Sound and Storytelling in Fluorescence
Following the whirlwind era of The Good Witch, Maisie spent years touring and opening for artists like Taylor Swift and Coldplay. Suddenly, Maisie stepped away at the end of 2024. She took time afterward to reconnect with life offstage, and this break led her to Nashville. During the break, she reunited with Grammy-winning collaborator Ian Fitchuk, and they began laying the foundation for Florescence. In Nashville, Maisie drew from the city’s songwriting culture and warm, organic sound. These factors have made her step into the role of co-producer for the first time.
By stepping into a co-producer role for the first time, Maisie is entering a more self-defined creative era. While Florescence has yet to fully bloom, “My Regards” already hints at the growth and transformation shaping this new chapter — softer in tone, but no less emotionally sharp.
“My Regards”, A Softer, Stranger Opening to Maisie’s Fluorescence Era
The new era begins with the February 6 release of “My Regards,” the album’s lead single. Amelia Dimoldenberg, known for capturing candid moments, directs the music video. The music video offers the earliest look at Florescence’s visual world: cute, slightly strange, and framed like a funny, offbeat life documentary with flashes of drama. As a first glimpse into the album, “My Regards” marks a clear shift in Maisie’s artistic persona, pointing toward a more personal and inward creative direction.
“My Regards” suggests a softer and more playful side of Maisie’s new era. Moving away from the heightened emotional intensity of The Good Witch, “My Regards” lets Maisie’s sweet, slightly husky vocals settle into a calmer, more grounded delivery. Yet the sharper guitar-driven background production creates a striking contrast with her voice, adding another layer to the song’s chemistry. The result feels effortlessly versatile: relaxed enough to play while getting ready in the morning, but rhythmic and steadily rising enough to earn a spot on a cardio playlist.
Growth, Contrast, and Collaboration in Fluorescence
These 15 tracks depict a blossoming of myself from ages 23 to 25… and lead you into a perfect English spring.

Florescence centers on growth, healing, and emotional renewal. While the album looks back on past heartbreak, it is also rooted in Maisie’s high school love story. Moving from what she describes as “long winters” into a “perfect English spring,” the album captures a clear emotional shift: from pain and uncertainty toward warmth, clarity, and connection.
That emotional contrast also carries over into the album’s collaborations. It features several artists’ appearances, including Julia Michaels on “Kingmaker.” Released on April 23, the single serves as the final preview of Florescence before its release.
