Ariel Marie Releases New Single “Just This Way”

Ariel Marie is an 18-year-old singer-songwriter from New York City, and she’s just released a new song, “Just This Way.” Currently an undergraduate at NYU in the music business program, Ariel has taken the music community by storm with her soulful voice and poignant songwriting.

Folk legends like Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan have already influenced her at a very young age, as did writing on topics such as the outdoors, love, and literary allusions. Her music speaks to the kind of commitment she makes to her work, and she writes songs, plays guitar and banjo, and produces tracks.

“Just This Way” defines a blossoming Ariel Marie in her art. The track captures heartfelt lyrics such as “You don’t have to like it, but I’m just this way” and “Heart of gold, mind of old,” which savor introspection and the very true character with which she writes. This track captures that unique ability of Ariel Marie—to offer personal narratives in music—which many listeners will surely identify with.

Her debut single was “Cousin of the King,” and this one was already promising, having really gained positive feedback. Its beautiful melody, matched with meaningful lyrics, was a showcase of her talent to tell stories with her songs. And so, it goes with “Just This Way,” which further solidifies that she is really an up-and-coming star in the business.

But more than her musical talent, Ariel really stands out because she is really doing everything in terms of the production of the work. So with her fastidiousness in sculpting every song, she is found pouring out her heart and soul in every lyric and melody. This gets her into authentic territory, assuring that her music is real and really comes across to all those who hear it.
