The official music video for “Stay Young” already convincingly ranked as the most popular upload on Maisie Peters’ YouTube channel.<\/p>\n
Early Wednesday morning, it became her first video to reach the 1 million view milestone. It achieved the feat less than five weeks after its February 15 premiere.<\/p>\n
In terms of view count, the “Stay Young” upload is obviously benefiting from being Peters’ first conventional music video. Still, there is a far bigger story to consider.<\/p>\n
“Stay Young” represents the latest step in Peters’ tasteful evolution from talented singer-songwriter to potential superstar. It may be her most commercial effort from a melodic and production standpoint, but its breadth does not remotely dilute the detail-driven songwriting and intimate vocal delivery that have always made her so interesting.<\/p>\n
The ability to authentically “scale” one’s sound is a rare, special talent. Peters clearly has it, and her success in organically growing her pop sensibility is deservedly boosting her profile.<\/p>\n
Her sold-out mini-tour and million-view milestone offer direct confirmation of that popularity.<\/p>\n
