Stranger Things actress and singer-songwriter Maya Hawke (who’s also the daughter of Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman) has announced her third album, Chaos Angel, due out on May 31 via Mom+Pop. It was produced by Christian Lee Hutson, with contributions from two other regular collaborators, Benjamin Lazar Davis and Will Graefe, and you can see the cover art and tracklist below.
The first single is wry alt-pop track “Missing Out.” Maya says, “There was actually a girl who went to Brown, where my brother goes to college, and we were all going around saying what our wish was for ourselves. She said, I want to write the next great American novel. It was the moment where I felt older than everyone because I laughed so hard. I was like, ‘You are so far down the wrong track!’ Wish to write a novel. That would be a miracle. Don’t wish to write the next great American novel, that’s a nightmare! It made me feel I actually am a different place in my life than these people I was around. It totally inspired this whole song.”
Maya will perform at the 2024 Tibet House benefit at Carnegie Hall this month. That’s her only live date at the moment.
