RELEASES VISUALIZER FOR GRAPHIC NOVEL TITLED


the masquerade OUT NOW 

Since releasing her highly anticipated debut album the masquerade this fall, mxmtoon is seemingly everywhere. The 19-year-old just wrapped a completely sold out North American tour and is heading over to the UK and Europe shortly for another run of sold out dates. She recently announced she will be supporting Lauv on a tour in Asia in the summer. She spoke to Teen Vogue about her graphic novel and short film for the album, who said that "the result is a captivating, charming visual journey that complements the dreamy album...the masquerade already invokes a whirlwind of adolescent emotions and the visuals only complement that. What’s so appealing about mxmtoon’s creative projects are the relatability that she imbues into them."

The New York Times hailed her as "...a Bedroom Pop Empire in the Making” in their recent profile feature and for good reason. The project’s mastermind maia has not only released released a graphic novel which Billboard rave “...seamlessly pairs with the album, encapsulating her introverted, teenage tendencies and free-flowing creativity” but today released a new EP. The new songs consist of duets of songs from the masquerade where is joined by Alexander 23, chloe moriondo & Shortly and Chloe Lilac who all recently opened for her on her US tour.

Press for the masquerade… 

"...a Bedroom Pop Empire in the Making” - The New York Times 

"On the masquerade, which features songs written over the last two years, she's offering the most polished picture of herself yet. And it's one that, like all of her music, succeeds based on her candor and intelligence.” - NYLON

"mxmtoon Might Be the Songwriter a New Generation Needs...Armed with a ukulele and a sardonic charm, the TikTok star paints a portrait how it feels to be lonely, in love and connected at once...the masquerade is comforting twee-pop that wrings out genuine pathos from mxmtoon’s internet celebrity. She’s made a portrait of what it’s like to be lonely, in love and perpetually connected, while at the same time filled with sly, painfully earnest observations.” - Paste 

"the masquerade is a deeply human album, one unshackled by any pretense or notion of the 19-year-old artist’s ensuing fame... a ten-track run that plays with themes of lo-fi indie rock, jumps headfirst into soaring indie pop, dips into nostalgic, swaying R&B, and finds its footing in heartbreaking ballads, all while staying grounded by mxmtoon’s gift for poignant lyricism.” - Bandcamp

"The ukulele-toting singer brings her wry sense of humour and diary-entry lyricism to her debut record, recalling the lo-fi relatability of Frankie Cosmos. She's charming, candid and unafraid to delve into some tougher themes…” - Exclaim!
