Song(s) of the Day # 4,383 Maya Hawke

 


I immediately warm to Maya Hawke's latest album MAITREA CORSO as soon as I perch my headphones over my head and sail into opening track Love of My Life.Maybe I'm in a good mood but she's good company with her soothing approach to the curveballs mid Twenties living throw at the sensitive.

Maya parents are Ethan Hawke and Una Thurman and you've got two options. Either to hold her good fortune against her or concede she may have had experiences you're not entirely familiar and cup an ear to try to discern what they might be. I'd like the record regardless of knowledge of her lineage.

MAITREA CORSO is warm and endearing and unexpected from the off . I could make a lot of comparisons to other female artists working in the same neck of the woods but it would be lazy. It's funny, sharp and constantly surprising.
