Blonde Maze, also known as Amanda Steckler Levesque, dropped her second album Second Sight on May 23, 2025, via Enhanced Chill. This New Yorker’s been killing it in indie-electronic circles with releases on Enhanced Music, Monstercat, Armada, and This Never Happened. Her lush, sharp sound’s gotten nods from Billboard, DJ Mag, and NYLON, plus steady play on SiriusXM Chill. She’s landed syncs in Netflix’s Never Have I Ever and Hulu’s Love, Victor, and in 2024, she scored Demi Lovato’s Child Star. On stage, she’s held her own at SXSW, Brooklyn Mirage, and Amsterdam Dance Event, opening for artists like Louis the Child and Elderbrook.
Across 10 tracks, Second Sight maps out heartbreak and the self-discovery that follows. ‘The Thought of You’ with imallryt simmers with raw longing, and ‘If I Stayed’ with Modera digs into layers of what-ifs. ‘Never Dream’ with Attom drifts in a bittersweet haze, while ‘To Love Again’ with Lizzy Land radiates quiet grit. ‘Asleep In My Head’, with Polar Inc. and Channy Leaneagh of POLIÇA, cuts deep with its moody edge. Fresh tracks stand out too. ‘Favorite Story’ warms you up with nostalgia, ‘Slow Love’ with Kazmyn hangs in the air with poise, and ‘How Far Can We Go’ with Hessian brings a gentle kick. ‘Closer To You’ with LeyeT settles into peace, and ‘Where the Birds Go to Hum’ fades out with a chill, ambient vibe.
Blonde Maze summed it up: “This album’s about falling in love with a clearer view,” and Second Sight nails that vibe through its clever blend of instrumentals and vocals. The way that the vocals mix with the music is key. Sometimes they float over dreamy pads, other times they’re stripped down, letting the emotion hit you square on. Together, the instrumentals and voices turn the album into one solid journey toward that “clearer view,” no fluff needed.
