If you step foot onto a college campus, ask any student who Maya Hawke is. There’s a good chance they’ll have seen her perform in the third and fourth seasons of, Netflix’s record-breaking sci-fi drama. If you ask a student wearing Blundstones who Maya Hawke is, there’s a strong chance they’ll have listened to her music, too.
Where Hawke excels are works where she can set a scene and focus on the acoustic guitar-driven arrangements that support her threadbare voice just right. “Wrong Again” is full of hyper-specific lyrics that approach you-had-to-be-there moments before falling into more familiar gestures: “20 dollars in tokens / To play an hour of Arctic Thunder / Commercial Coke bottle opens / Give your ticket to the usher / I sit too close on purpose / To see if you adjust or hold your ground.
“Promise” is calm but softly poignant: “I never promised to come home / You never promised me you’d wait / But a promise is a play thing / Guaranteed to break,” Hawke sings. This chorus stands out among other peaks in, where she relies on repetition of one- or two-line phrases to get her point across: When it works, it works ; when it doesn’t, it doesn’t .
As much as Maya Hawke may be known for her sturdy lyricism, her consistency in style displays confidence: in her writing, in her collaborators , in her voice, in her narrative, everything. As she tiptoes out of her well-tread realm, there are some moves that make perfect sense—composing and Auto-Tuning a shanty isn’t for the faint of heart—but the chaos offered through guitar distortion sounds too antithetical next to her level-headed wit.
