(October 26, 2022) Disappointments, break-ups, betrayals, insecurities, abuse, trauma, anxiety -- any one of those reasons could make it very easy for someone to feel like he or she is not enough, that he or she doesn’t match the stereotypical standard of ‘perfect’ perpetuated by the media or one’s own thoughts.
If you’ve ever felt that way, Maya Azucena is here to tell you that you are enough, whether someone else acknowledges it or not. Her latest single, entitled “I Am Enough,” highlights that very theme. The song - which is the title of her fourth solo album - embodies what one of our previous reviews about her stated: “Encouraging people has always been central to Maya’s music.”

The song - which is the title of her fourth solo album - embodies what one of our previous reviews about her stated: “Encouraging people has always been central to Maya’s music.”
Hearing her message of encouragement makes it no surprise that Maya is not only an award-winning singer and recording artist but also a humanitarian who’s done plenty of work to empower women, youth, and those who have suffered from domestic/sexual violence. She’s even been commended for using her voice to “make the world a better place.”
With her powerful vocals on full display throughout the song, Maya sings right into your soul. In other words, as is her goal, she sings as if someone’s life (maybe yours) depends on it. So, if you’re in need of a musical shot in the arm to keep you going, let the heartfelt lyrics of Maya Azucena remind you that YOU ARE ENOUGH. Let it be your personal anthem if need be. Check out the song here.
