Maya Hawke announced her sophomore album, MOSS, will be released on September 23, 2022. The announcement was made during her appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”
Following the release of her critically acclaimed debut album Blush, Hawke returns with a stunning second album written by Hawke, and in collaboration with Benjamin Lazar Davis, Christian Lee Hutson, and Will Graefe. MOSS serves as Hawke’s meditation on rebirth and acceptance.
“This record is called Moss because I’ve been gathering a lot in the last few years,” Hawke says about the album. “Sitting still and collecting a green blanket of memories and feelings. Making this record was me trying to get up and shake it off and look at all of it. It was the first step in untangling myself and really trying to look at the rock under the moss.”
The album’s debut single, “Thérèse,” gives a stunning glimpse of the new record and is available to stream and download now.
Hawke says about the single, “‘Thérèse’ is inspired by a painting but about feeling hemmed in and stuck. Stuck as the version of yourself that someone else created.”
