BLONDE MAZE SHARES DREAMY NEW SINGLE “ASLEEP IN MY HEAD” FEATURING POLAR INC. AND CHANNY LEANEAGH (POLIÇA)

The mind holds on to what the heart isn’t ready to say. That first flicker, when something new settles in and refuses to leave. Blonde Maze captures that delicate emotional terrain with “Asleep In My Head,” a striking collaboration with South African producer Polar Inc. and Channy Leaneagh of the celebrated indie-electronic band POLIÇA. This track marks the fifth single from Blonde Maze’s upcoming album “Second Sight,” out this May on Enhanced Music.

“Asleep In My Head” lingers in the tension between hesitation and longing, where feelings form and take hold. Blonde Maze shapes the track with a sense of calm urgency, layering soft synths and measured movement around lyrics that feel both inward and expansive. Channy Leaneagh’s voice moves through it all with quiet force, drawing out the emotional complexity without ever breaking the stillness. Together with Polar Inc., the production stays grounded and restrained, letting every moment breathe while the intensity builds just beneath the surface.

This release follows a string of standout singles from Blonde Maze’s upcoming album, “Second Sight”, including “To Love Again” featuring Lizzy Land and “Never Dream” with Attom, each praised for their emotional resonance and textural sophistication. 

With this latest release, Blonde Maze extends her palette further, proving her instinct for collaboration and her commitment to pushing the emotional range of electronic pop. “Asleep In My Head” is a quiet revelation. The sound of a mind overwhelmed, a heart cracking open, and a moment that stays with you long after the music fades.

QUOTE FROM BLONDE MAZE

“”Asleep In My Head” is a tribute to the balance of nervous excitement and intrigue that comes with the realization of new feelings. That kind of new territory period where you're in your head all the time thinking about someone, equally afraid and exhilarated about what the next move is. I wanted to weave the vulnerability yet total security that you feel around them into the lyrics and movement of the track. It's a really special moment the first time someone makes you feel as sensitive as they make you feel safe.

It was an absolute pleasure co-writing the lyrics with Julia Church on this track; with her emotional songwriting and ability to get across passion, I feel we were really able to hone in on this sentiment. I was so thrilled that Polar Inc. was able to add some of his signature production on the track, bringing that movement to life. Separately, it was a bit of a full circle moment for me as an artist when Channy Leaneagh (POLIÇA) laid her vocals on the track, since POLIÇA was on repeat back in 2013 when I first started listening to the more indie/electronic side of music.”

QUOTE FROM CHANNY LEANEAGH

“It was really fun to work on this track with Blonde Maze and Polar Inc. It’s such a sweet and lovely track.”
