Today, singer/songwriter/actor Maya Hawke has shared another new single, “Hang In There.” It’s lifted from her new album, Chaos Angel, which is due out May 31st via Mom+Pop.
Chaos Angel is the third album from Hawke, following her her critically acclaimed 2022 album, Moss. Created with her longstanding collaborators Christian Lee Huston, Benjamin Lazar Davis and Will Graefe, Chaos Angel is a deeply beautiful, meditative album about falling in love, fucking it up, and getting back up again.
“Hang In There” finds Hawke offering support to a friend going through a difficult time in the midst of a toxic relationship. Its sound is perfectly enhanced by an accompanying minimal technicolor lyric video also out today.
“The idea of ‘Hang in There’ is when you have someone close to you, who’s going through something awful that you’ve been through earlier in your life, and you know that you can’t interfere because they’ll probably isolate themselves from you,” Hawke says. “So you have to just watch as they get really hurt. Until they have that moment where they realize they’ve been in a toxic situation all along. Then they come to you, and together, you help them emerge from it. It’s a moment of real happiness when you can witness the pieces all click into place.”
