NASAYA & MARO Music Hall of Williamsburg Lifeline Tour 2025
I still remember the first time I heard PATTERNS by NASAYA featuring Sara Diamond back in 2019. That song still runs chills through my soul and remains my anthem. Back then, I had the chance to interview Theo for detour and attended one of his shows. His talent then impressed me and today it still shines in the productions he is able to weave for the artists that he works with.
Soon after discovering PATTERNS, I stumbled upon MIDNIGHT PURPLE, featuring MARO. Her sweet, angelic voice, heavy with melancholy, struck a chord deep within me. Since then, the duo has continued to create a tapestry of tracks that seamlessly blend their French and Portuguese influences, filling the space with stunning vibrations and heartfelt lyrics. Their friendship and musical synergy have only grown stronger, making this night feel like an intimate gathering of souls connected by sound. That night, they were able to finally showcase their collaborative album, LIFELINE, which they had been working on since the pandemic in 2020. This project is at it's core, an introspective journey through emotion and vulnerability. It’s an album where each song blends soulful melodies with poignant lyrics. The album captures moments of longing, growth, and self-reflection, with MARO's deep whispers weaving effortlessly through each track. Her ability to channel melancholy while maintaining an ethereal warmth of NASAYA’s productions and guitar makes this collection both heart-wrenching and comforting. The fusion of acoustic elements with subtle electronic undertones adds depth. Certainly a must listen. For me to finally see it come out in the world was a special experience.
At the venue, the room was packed to the brim, and my heart was full seeing so many gathered to share this experience. With a simple setup of flashing lights and warm smiles, NASAYA and MARO took the stage, effortlessly drawing us into their bubble of sonic euphoria. Their music is what I would describe as sad songs disguised as happy music — lyrics that tug at the challenging moments of our lives, all wrapped in upbeat melodies and bubbly beats.
I've always been hypnotized by their sound, falling into a trance-like state, and it was clear the crowd felt the same way. Fans shouted in adoration, some even exclaiming how they had flown from Brazil just for this concert. The love ran deep, voices singing along in Portuguese as MARO responded with humility and radiant smiles. Watching NASAYA and MARO share playful glances and cute laughs between songs was a wholesome reminder of the genuine connection that music can create.
As the night came to a close, I left with a vinyl in hand and my heart full, still humming the melodies that swirled and reverberated in my mind. This night was unforgettable, a reminder of the power of music to transport, to connect, and to heal.
If you ever get the chance to catch NASAYA and MARO live, do yourself a favor and go. In the meantime, here are some photos from the concert to relive the magic. Be sure to follow them for more, because if this night was any indication, there’s so much more beauty to come. 🌙✨
