Amoeba Review
mxmtoon’s second album, rising, is proof that she’s one of the most distinctive voices working in pop today. Maia, the human behind mxmtoon, sings with refreshing honesty, whether she’s reassuring a teen girl she won’t always be lonely (“Prom Dress”) or contemplating where the optimism of youth went (“Victim of Nostalgia”). She deftly blends genres, incorporating elements of pop-punk and indie rock into her pastel-hued pop. Catchy, smart, and likable, rising should win over a slew of new fans to mxmtoon’s eminently relatable music.
