We are thrilled to announce that Maya Hawke has joined the Mom + Pop family. following the release of A and B side singles in 2019, she returns with a deeply personal full-length album Blush which will be out on Jun 19th. The album is a continued collaboration with GRAMMY award winning songwriter/producer Jesse Harris, who wrote the music for the album while Maya contributed the lyrics. The first single, “By Myself,” is out everywhere now along with an accompanying music video featuring a dazzling cowboy/angel Maya dancing against a backdrop of stars (video directed by Amanda Kramer). Needless to say, it is the perfect escapist ballad and visual to accompany our lonely days during the ongoing global health crisis.
Ruminating on the lyrics, Hawke says, “By Myself was written in the wake of my twentieth birthday party. I suppose it’s about projecting ideas you have about yourself onto other people. You perceive yourself as being in these toxic relationships with others, and get all worked up about them, but sometimes it really just means you have a toxic relationship with yourself. Talking to the mirror. Self-obsession and self-victimization, all at the same time. But it also has a secret joy in it somewhere. It’s all still fun I guess, at least for a little while longer. I’m getting better.”
Listen to '“By Myself” and watch the video now and pre-order your copy of Blush out everywhere June 19th. Be sure to head over to Maya’s webstore for exclusive Vinyl, CD and Merch Bundles including a signed poster (a portion of all proceeds will go to benefit the Food Bank for New York City).
