Music/Album Reviews

mxmtoon
rising

Album cover of rising

Genre: Indie pop
Sound: Bubbly, wistful ukulele-pop that’s lighter than air
If you like: dodie, chloe moriondo, beabadoobie
Why you should listen: mxmtoon is basically a viral track machine: her whimsical melodies, lilting voice and relatable themes about growing up in a chaotic world have catapulted her to Gen Z cult status. This album follows the same formula as previous releases, but hey — it’s a good formula.
Best track: victim of nostalgia
