Maya Hawke has announced her new album, Chaos Angel, due on May 31st. Today, she shared the record’s lead single, “Missing Out.”
Arriving via Mom+Pop, Chaos Angel is Hawke’s third album, following her 2022 release, Moss. Featuring production helmed by longtime collaborator Christian Lee Hutson — with contributions from Benjamin Lazar Davis and Will Graefe — the album is “about falling in love, fucking it up, and getting back up again,” according to its press release.

“Honey” was already a pretty sparse song, with muted guitar quickly strummed over Samia’s daydreaming about a carefree weekend. But Hawke’s rendition really leans into the sadness at the heart of the track, reissuing that guitar melody with fuzzy keys and an even more vulnerable vocal.
Samia examined Hawke’s cover of “Honey” in a statement. “When we were recording ‘Honey’ for the album we added this ironic depth by turning what was originally a painful song into a kind of campfire sing along — big bouncy guitars, a happy melody, that endless refrain,” she explained. “So I was eager to hear what Maya would do with it.
