Mara Van Dyck

Falling for someone at first sight can be as exciting as it is overwhelming. On Instantly, Luxembourgish-Bulgarian singer-songwriter Mara Van Dyck captures that feeling through an upbeat dance-pop sound with a romantic, slightly melancholic edge. Built around a summery atmosphere and an infectious sense of movement, the track balances the excitement of a new attraction with a softer emotional undertone. Written and produced by Mara in her home studio alongside co-writer Emerine Samuel, Instantly reflects her hands-on approach to making music. Rather than separating songwriting from production, she brings both sides of the creative process together, shaping a sound that moves between intimate emotion and the energy of the dancefloor. Released on October 9, 2026, the single follows her earlier releases Just for You and Not Alone. It has since started reaching audiences through several radio and playlist placements. The track is receiving rotation on Formula Indie, which distributes music across more than 80 radio stations, and has also been added to Hits 1 Radio and Volting Radio. Plugin Music has further featured the song on its New Discovery Pop playlist. Mara's musical journey began with writing songs alone in her bedroom, initially creating music for herself. Since then, she has continued developing her songwriting and production skills, including participation in songwriting camps with DWB in the UK, where she also took part in Eurovision-focused writing sessions. Her selection for Luxembourg's Initiative Pop 2026 programme marks another step forward in her development as an emerging pop artist. With influences and appeal spanning artists such as Carly Rae Jepsen, Mabel and Nej', Mara Van Dyck brings together polished pop sensibilities and a more personal emotional approach. Instantly is a bright yet reflective addition to her growing catalogue, capturing the rush of a new connection while keeping its feet firmly on the dancefloor.
