Dwayna Litz Podcast Soon to Come and More

 

New podcast, soon to come, on the Dwayna Litz Music YouTube channel, and Apple and Spotify, as we have been preparing for that this week. It was recorded at Baysound Studios in Sarasota, FL.

Also, thanks to the radio stations still playing my music this summer. An interview I did for Breaking Sound Radio in Los Angeles will soon be posted on my DwaynaLitzMusic YouTube channel, too.

It has been a very busy June! The goal is for the new podcast to begin either next month or in August, and once it begins it will be running weekly. More updates on that will be posted, as we are now working on the trailer for the intro.

Thanks again to radio stations from Los Angeles to NYC and from Spain, the UK and Brussels to East Africa and Portugal for playing my music, especially "Stayin' Gone" and "Maybe," this summer.

"Maybe" by Dwayna Litz Gets International Air Play

“Maybe” is a song about falling in love. It depicts the surprise of meeting someone new and how, in the beginning throws of chemistry, you ask yourself, “Is this for real?”

“Maybe.”

Dwayna Litz pours her heart into this song about the present, the future and looking back. “I better sit down and catch my breath…If this isn’t real, then what can I believe?” It’s a peaceful flow, caught up in the vulnerability of loving someone forever—just “maybe.”

Songweb Reviews Dwayna Litz's "Maybe"

 

“Maybe” is a heartfelt ode to the rush of unexpected love, and Dwayna truly pours her soul into every line. I love this song because of its sincerity; the warmth in her vocal delivery that made me feel the fluttering questions of new romance right alongside her. The classic, almost retro-style arrangement brings a timeless charm, and her phrasing—especially on the word “Maybe”—feels honest and lived-in. –Songweb.net

Review from Zillions Magazine:

Dwayna Litz's new single, "Maybe," captures the feeling of falling in love with a simplicity that feels personal, much like reading a handwritten letter. The music has a smooth, inviting quality that makes you feel cozy, like a gentle breeze on a warm day. "Maybe" transcends being just a love of music. It captures a truly special moment. It's about that brief pause when you meet someone new and sense that spark of possibility. 

With her warm voice, Litz transports listeners to a place of openness and curiosity.The music embodies the spirit of Nashville right from the start. Recorded at the legendary Ocean Way studio, it has a strong musical background. The gentle guitar by B. James Lowry and the melodic piano by Jeff Taylor creates a lovely sound. Tim Crouch's fiddle and mandolin add a special touch, while Dennis Crouch keeps the beat on bass. Background singers Monte Allen and Suzanne Young provide harmonious support that perfectly complements Dwayna without overshadowing her.

At the heart of the song is Dwayna's voice, which tells the story beautifully. She sings with emotion, pulling at your heartstrings with grace. You can feel the yearning in her words when she sings. Rather than being an over-the-top love ballad, it's a gentle admission of feelings that's sweet and a little nervous, perfectly balanced on the edge of something new. Written by Dwayna Litz and Laura Vida, "Maybe" reflects the dance between hope and doubt, dreams and uncertainties. It doesn't force answers. It expresses emotions. In a world that often seeks to have everything neatly defined, this song's ambiguity feels refreshingly genuine.
