mxmtoon presents new album teaser, "rain"

10 October 2024, 13:02 | Written by Tyler Damara Kelly

Singer-songwriter mxmtoon has shared "rain" as the latest preview of her upcoming third album, liminal space.

"I thought I would live my whole life in California until I moved to New York in 2020. Four years later I was hit with deciding if I wanted to move back to my hometown, and initially I thought I would. ‘rain’ was about navigating the feeling of not being ready to give up what you just discovered," mxmtoon explains.

"When I moved to the east coast my world expanded in ways I never expected to happen. Living in a different state was terrifying but it challenged me to grow and learn in so many ways that I never anticipated. I became a new person, and the idea of moving back to the west coast felt like sacrificing a version of myself I’d grown to love."

"It’s easy for people to romanticise what they don’t have, and no matter where I am in the world I’ll always miss the idea of a different place," she continues. "If I was in California I’d always miss New York, if I was in New York I’d always miss California, and the cycle repeats."
