In 2021, Blonde Maze released her debut Album Something Familiar.[7] [8] [9] [10] "After teaming up with labels Monstercat and Lowly, and with self-released single 'Antarctica' reaching Spotify's U.S. Viral 50 and seeing spins on BBC Radio 1, she released her debut album [''Something Familiar] on Enhanced Chill in 2021 that consisted of glistening tracks and dreamy soundscapes, which received strong support from Sirius XM Chill."[11] [12] [13] [14] [15]
