23 OCTOBER 2026 (TORONTO, ON) — Singer, songwriter, and guitarist Maya Delilah has released the driving new single “Been Here Before” with Aquilo, the musical duo consisting ofTom Higham and Ben Fletcher. “This song is a message to a partner who’s dragging you down,” says Maya. “It’s all about self-love and knowing you deserve better.”
“This song was made with my good friends Aquilo,” she explains. “We’ve made a lot of music together over the years but this time we wanted to step away from the more singer-songwriter style and lean into another sound that inspires me a lot: a darker driving sound, soul-leaning, with a catchy guitar phrase.”

The single marks the first new music the London-based artist has released since the Deluxe Edition of her acclaimed debut The Long Way Round earlier this year. The Los Angeles Times called the album “a timeless and gorgeous introduction” with tastemakers from Spotify to Rolling Stone UK naming her an “Artist To Watch.” Maya has since performed on notable stages across the world from the Fuji Rock Festival in Japan to the Newport Jazz Festival in the U.S.
