mxmtoon Releases New Single ‘rain’ Ahead of Upcoming Album ‘liminal spaces’

Acclaimed singer-songwriter mxmtoon has unveiled her latest single, rain, a beautifully introspective track from her highly anticipated third album, liminal spaces, set for release on November 1st. With delicate acoustic strumming and layered vocals, rain explores the complex emotions of longing and the bittersweetness of change. The song’s vulnerable lyrics reflect mxmtoon’s journey of self-discovery as she navigates feelings of uncertainty.

Reflecting on the track, mxmtoon shares how moving from California to New York in 2020 changed her perspective.

“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. 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. 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.” – mxmtoon.
