Mavi Phoenix – Duffel Bag

Duffel bag by Mavi Phoenix is a hopeful, up-tempo indie/hyperpop track about letting go. With atmospheric slide guitars, chopped-up vocals, and layered harmonies, the song captures the moment of packing up the past – both literally and figuratively – and choosing a new path.

“duffel bag started in April 2024 with an instrumental – the vocal chops and dreamy slide guitar motivated me again and again to keep working on it. After trying out different verses and choruses, I revisited the song together with some musician friends. The result is a version that, to me, captures exactly what I had in mind from the start: a musical toast to reconnecting with yourself – finding self-trust and the certainty that, when everything else falls apart,
I’m able to count on myself.” – Mavi Phoenix, 2025
