It is always a great time when longtime CLOUT favourite Maya Malkin releases new music, with her delectably alt-pop sound bordering on the absurd with how consistently catchy and memorable her sound manages to be.

The latest release from the artist is the sunny new single ‘Honey’, a track that, in context of her upcoming album, serves as the calm before the storm, ignorant to the darkness that is yet to come. We prefer to ignore that though, and just treat the track as the carefree, loved-up charmer that it is, packed full of immersive melodies and the artist’s affable personality and charm. ‘Honey’ may be a precursor for more troubled tracks to come, but serves as a stunning reminder of how effortlessly charming Maya and her sound can be.

Speaking about ‘Honey’, she said, “Honey is the calm before the storm. Probably the most lighthearted on the album, and one of the only songs with a positive twist, Honey hints at the issues that the rest of the album tackles without yet understanding the darkness that lies ahead.”
