Toronto, ON – Known as a powerhouse performer, Canadian singer-songwriter Mariya Stokes is leaning into a softer realm with the release of her stunning new track “Rebound,” available for streaming across all platforms. The third release since her 2019 debut, “Rebound” demonstrates the incredible versatility Mariya possesses as an artist.
Simple but powerful, “Rebound” is an emotional ballad that explores the complexity of falling for someone emotionally unavailable and in love with their ex. It delves into both sides of the scenario without judgement or anger. With delicate piano and minimal percussion, the lyrics and vocals drive the song to a place of vulnerability and raw sentiment.

On the track, Mariya notes: “Recording this song was terrifying and freeing at the same time; I’ve never released a song as raw and honest as “Rebound”. To me, the vulnerability of the lyrics are its core – I have rebounded and been the rebound. This song explores both sides of that situation without judgement, and it’s very close to my heart. I hope when you listen to it, you know that if you’ve been in a relationship like this you’re not alone.”
Following the instant success of her debut single “Hands on My Body“, which garnered over 140K streams and debuted in the Top 10 of the iTunes Canadian Country Chart, Stokes has been making her place known in the Canadian country scene with her simple yet sexy pop-country anthems. Named the ACMA 2019 Female Artist of the Year, Stokes has opened for some heavy-hitting acts including Drag Race’s Trixie Mattel, Jann Arden, Doc Walker, and Jocelyn Alice. She was also selected to work with Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame Inductee Terri Clark at National Music Centre in Calgary, Alberta during her RBC Masters in Residence Program.
