For Christina Maria, her most recent European tour was a little bit like going home.

“My mom has 72 first cousins, many of them in Holland, so a lot of family comes out to my shows and that’s something really special to me,” the Swiss-Canadian explained.

Maria released her second album, Straight Line, this past February.

The tour’s European setting is fitting, given the international production of the album, which she said shaped her sound and the record as a whole.
