A self-professed fan of webtoons/digital comics, mxmtoon is partnering with the creator of the webtoon “Brass & Sass,” Enlik, to tease one of the songs on her new album throughout a new episode of “Brass & Sass” which will be released on WEBTOON today, May 18.
The song, “frown,” will play in the background as readers scroll through the new episode of “Brass & Sass.” mxmtoon and Enlik have also collaborated on an official music video, which will be released soon, featuring the artwork and story from “Brass & Sass.” mxmtoon’s album “Rising” will be released on May 20.
The world first met Maia when she was a 17-year-old singer with a ukulele and a now-famous screenname: mxmtoon. In 2017, and from the guest bedroom in her parents’ California home, the high-school student began posting covers of pop favorites and her own catchy confessional musings, tunes that spoke frankly of her setting’s assorted tribulations — dates and a lack thereof, online socializing and offline loneliness. A queer kid of mixed Chinese, German, and Scottish ancestry, Maia sang songs that expressed an interiority of the underrepresented with honesty, understanding, and hooks that could not be forgotten. mxmtoon became a streaming sensation, her teenage ditties defining a new era of what it meant to make bedroom pop. Stepping into the studio proper for her 2019 debut, the masquerade, mxmtoon became an avatar for the new bloom of representation and inclusion in American pop. When “prom dress” became a hit, Maia was still a teenager.
