Also released today is this haunting reimagining of Radiohead’s iconic “Creep” which is featured as part of the Life Is Strange soundtrack. mxmtoon tells us “really excited to share my cover of creep by Radiohead! it’s nerve-wracking to make your own version of such an iconic and established song, but creep is a classic and i had so much fun being able to put my own spin on it. hopefully other people can be inspired to make versions of their own favorite songs and put them out in the world to share as well.”

The singer, songwriter, producer, podcaster and gamer kicked off the year with an NPR Tiny Desk performance and hasn’t stopped since. She will be joining Rolling Stone next Tuesday on their Twitch channel for an interview and performance. The broadcast goes live at 4:30PM ET.  Aside from Life Is Strange she continues her daily podcast 365 days with mxmtoon which has included special guests ranging from Carly Rae Jepsen, Dayglow, Julien Baker and more as she continues to connect with fans around the world.  Her music has had well over half a billion streams and she has more than 4 million followers across her socials, including 1.4M on TikTok, 846K on YouTube, 1.2M on Spotify, and 207K on Twitch where she recently went toe to toe against Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a live-streamed game of Among Us which was the fifth largest Twitch stream in history.

Praise for mxmtoon: "...a Bedroom Pop Empire in the Making” - The New York Times  “mxmtoon is an 18-year old singer-songwriter from Oakland who's amassed a sizable following on Twitter and YouTube on the strength of her endearingly intimate presence” - NPR  "surprising and compelling” - PAPER Magazine "The internet belongs to mxmtoon" - i-D “A mix of by plucky ukulele strumming and nostalgia, "ok on your own" is exactly what you think closure sounds like." - Refinery29 "The acoustic slow jam loveliness of “ok on your own” exists on several levels: it's in the Dido-esque '90s soft pop beat, the echoing harmonies between mxmtoon and Carly Rae Jepsen..." - Teen Vogue “...an absolutely killer mid-tempo melody that’s a little reminiscent of Billie Eilish — but no matter what name she’s working under, ,mxmtoon/Maia is fully her own artist." - Variety "Like mxmtoon’s other work, “ok on your own” begins with a few ruminative ukulele strums. From there it builds up into a sort of sad summer R&B jam, beats anchoring both Maia and Carly’s reflections on relationship difficulties and getting some time alone to figure your shit out." - Stereogum "Armed with a ukulele, Mxmtoon opens with soulful reflections on “OK On Your Own” before a buoyant beat drops. Jepsen’s vocals arrive later, adding dimension to mxmtoon’s cool-toned delivery." - Uproxx "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 Follow mxmtoon: Facebook | Spotify | Instagram | Twitter | TikTok | YouTube | SoundCloud | Twitch
