NEW MUSIC: MXMTOON | MONA LISA

21-year-old singer mxmtoon has released her melodic new single, “Mona Lisa,” in preparation for her sophomore album, slated for a spring release. The singer also released dates for her 2022 North American tour. "Mona Lisa" is a dreamy, ukulele-driven ditty which Maia tells us "as someone who usually writes songs about other people, one of my ongoing questions is "will anyone ever write songs about me?" "Mona Lisa" is about wanting to be the art subject for once instead of being the creator. I think we all daydream at some point in our lives of diving into our favourite stories and finding ourselves on the pages. we all deserve the chance to feel like we're worthy of a spotlight every once in a while, and "Mona Lisa" is meant to express that sentiment exactly." Mxmtoon, known as Maia, experimented with new forms of entertainment in 2021, with being cast as the musical voice of Alex Chen, the protagonist of the video game "Life is Strange: True Colors." Maia was able to combine her two passions – music and gaming. With more new music expected imminently, 2022 will be another critical year for the singer-songwriter. "I hope to keep pushing myself and make something that feels really different," explains Maia. "I want mxmtoon to be a diverse sonic playground." She adds, "Everything is open-ended for me right now, but I see that as being incredibly liberating and exciting." mxmtoon will also be hitting the road for a full North American tour.
