Maya Malkin shares glossy new pop-punk single ‘Hypocrite’
Following her most recent release ‘Seriously?’, which captured listeners with its introspective commentary, Toronto singer-songwriter Maya Malkin keeps the ball rolling with new single ‘Hypocrite’.
As a rising force to be reckoned with, the young pop prodigy is recognized for her brutally honest lyrics packaged in a glossy pop production. With its addictively catchy melodies steeped in mature lyricism, ‘Hypocrite’ effortlessly builds a bridge between the space of accessible, mainstream pop and deeper, serious emotional storytelling.
When speaking on the new single, Maya said, “This one is like the breaking point. It pretty much starts from the beginning of the end of the relationship, and takes you to the ultimate end, where I’ve hit peak frustration. So it’s really the angsty climax of the whole story, where I've had more than I could take, and had to call it what it was. It’s more on the rock end of the spectrum, which is really fun, and just drives the point home even more – it’s very guitar-driven, and aggressive; similar to ‘Congratulations’, but cranked up a notch. This is another song that’s super therapeutic to me, and I think it will be for a lot of other people, too.”
