Mary Ann Alexander has released her latest single, "Take," a powerful anthem that celebrates self-worth and ambition. The track, born from a simple percussion loop created by Mumbai-based producer Kambli, has quickly garnered attention across major streaming platforms, solidifying Alexander's position as a rising force in contemporary R&B.

"Take" showcases Alexander's artistic evolution, blending introspective lyrics with winding guitar motifs and velvety harmonic textures. The song's foundation lies in a "mischievously buoyant" beat that inspired Alexander to confidently embrace the space she has worked to achieve. The lyrics reflect a celebration of personal achievements and a reminder of the dedication required to reach one's goals. Alexander describes the song as being "about knowing your worth, pursuing your desires relentlessly and fiercely protecting your energy". The song is now available on all major streaming platforms.

Since its release, "Take" has been featured on prominent editorial playlists, including Spotify's New Music Friday in India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka, as well as Apple Music's New in Pop, New South Asian Flavours, Day One, and Brown Sugar. YouTube's New Indian Pop and Queens of Indian Pop, along with Tidal's Pop&B and R&B: Rising, have also highlighted the single.

Alexander's recent collaboration with UK legend Craig David on the "Commitment" remix further propelled her into the global spotlight. In addition, she made history as the first Indian artist to grace the DJ AG Session, hosted by TikTok sensation Ashley Gordon, alongside other icons like Idris Elba and Ed Sheeran. This cements her place as a trailblazer for Indian artists on the international music scene.

Hailing from Kerala and based in Bengaluru, Alexander's unique sound blends soulful melodies with a modern touch. Her previous releases, including "Good Girl," "In My Zone," and "Bling Bling," have showcased her distinctive style and vocal skills. She draws inspiration from artists like Whitney Houston and Beyoncé, infusing her music with compelling storytelling and raw emotion. Her father was a professional singer in the Malayalam music industry, exposing her to recording sessions from a young age.

Alexander was also one of a select group of artists chosen for the Jameson Distilled Sounds 2025 program, mentored by three-time Grammy winner Anderson .Paak. This opportunity allowed her to collaborate with musicians from diverse backgrounds and further develop her artistry.

Alexander's journey has seen her navigate the challenges of the music industry while staying true to her artistic vision. She initially pursued a degree in Visual Communication and taught singing before fully committing to her music career. She also leverages platforms like Instagram Reels to connect with audiences and share her sonic narratives.
