She eschews convention, wears her hair half fluorescent pink, half brunette, loves the Smiths as much as Beyonce, and has trouble keeping her big mouth shut. Her YouTube channel has already amassed 9,000,000+ views of her bedroom covers of R&B hits, but Maxine has traded her bedroom for the studios of New York, London and now Miami, where she's busy honing her international sound--a carefree mix of urban pop, R&B, dance, and soul that would be equally at home on the streets of the Bronx, London, or Tokyo. Her first outing is a guest vocal appearance on Italian DJ Alex Gaudino's summer-smash, "I'm in Love" for Ministry of Sound. Her tough yet vulnerable vocal atop Gaudino's shimmering electronics has already wowed radio and club DJs Europe-wide, thus cementing Maxine's first step on the road to international takeover. Watch this space.

Today she is signed to Interscope/iamOTHER through Pharrell Williams.

Storm
Maxine Ashley Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Because I can control the weather, they call me storm

I don′t feel anything
I don't feel anything
Walking through hurricanes
I′ma live through the rain
I don't feel anything
I don't feel anything

Walking through hurricanes
I′ma live through the rain yea, yeah

This is not enough
This is not enough

Frustrated
I′m waiting
I'm losing
My patience
I′m faded
Can't take it
Still I have
To face it

Calm before the storm
I can′t take it anymore
My eyes can barely see a thing
Still I'm controlling everything

Roll of thrunder
Hear my cry
Maybe you can realize
If you look into my eyes

I don′t feel anything
I don't feel anything
Walking through hurricanes
I'ma live through the rain
I don′t feel anything
I don′t feel anything
Walking through hurricanes
I'ma live through the rain

This is not enough
This is not enough

Enough
Enough
Enough
Enough

After all the bullshit you can see I′m blooming
Nothing I can't handle I′m a rolling stone
Even through the pressure i just keep it moving
I don't gotta say it cause they know
They know
They know
They know
They know

I summon the full power of the storm

I don′t feel anything (I don't feel anything)
I don't feel anything (I don′t feel anything)
Walking through hurricanes
I′ma live through the rain

I don't feel anything (I don′t feel anything)
I don't feel anything (I don′t feel anything)
Walking through hurricanes
I'ma live through the rain yea, yeah

This is not enough
This is not enough

What? What?
