Review

Mossy tendrils of introspection and intimacy curl throughout Maya Hawke's sophomore album Moss, released in the waning days of September 2022. Like the sporadic blooms of a bonsai tree, this collection of songs unfolds with a delicate yet confident grace. There's a palpable sense of evolution from her debut Blush - Hawke's voice, once tentative and ethereal, now blossoms with newfound depth and conviction.

Tracks like "Thérèse," inspired by the haunting gaze of a Balthus painting, serve as a testament to Hawke's ability to weave personal narratives into her music. Her lyrics dance around themes of rebirth and self-acceptance, painting vivid portraits that linger in the mind's eye long after the final note fades. Standout moments like the lilting "Sweet Tooth" and the ethereal "Luna Moth" showcase her versatility as a storyteller, crafting songs that are both catchy and emotionally resonant. With Moss, Maya Hawke has crafted an album that feels like a quiet conversation between friends - whispering secrets, sharing secrets unspoken, and blooming into something profoundly beautiful. - Ariana
