mxmtoon: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

[@mxmtoon]

thank you so much for having me :)

[@rebelz9489]

You did so good!

[@mistro888-h2b]

Wow I just discovered you, thats why I love NPR. Bon Iver is a favorite artist of mine and I never knew thats how his last name was pronounced. Thank you for being a blessing.

[@YourGreatName]

I could listen to you sing for hours

[@rom7633]

I knew you'd be invited to TinyDesk eventually! You're so talented, can't wait to see you live in concert when this craziness ends

[@bubson2981]

this was so good :)

[@luckyhenry9832]

Such clarity in her tone. Minimal vocal embellishments - straight note singing enables an easy listening experience.

[@savana.sabertooth9010]

@Kyle Smith but what if the artist wants to share not their voice, but their music and message? A little vocal embellishments could be helpful to deliver it.

[@16princessdaisy]

I think you're confusing embellishments with riffs, she definitely holds a singing style, if not it would simply sound too plain which is not her case.

[@KaiOfAspen]

this is SO well mixed. the guitar is so clean and the piano is somehow ambient and clear?? 10/10

[@bobjoe3044]

These tiny desks always have amazing mixing/sound in general. The sound guys actually made a video on the channel that talks about how they get such good sound.

[@KaiOfAspen]

@@bobjoe3044 fr?? gonna check that out!

[@ejmtv3]

@@bobjoe3044 but this is Home version

[@CupPlastic]

I swear Tiny Desk has the best sound engineer/s! This sounds absolutely amazing.

[@ambarchavez1162]

Her voice is so clean, nice, refreshing, beautiful!!. And she writes things that I feel identified with, what else can we ask from an artist.

[@arturomontilla5073]

To see her (us in the audience) play it live?

[@guisteh11]

and so smooth!

[@max]

[@jeno6466]

[@shush916]

I love how many people are discovering mxmtoon here!

[@joatanpereira4272]

I hope more discover this precious lil human

[@insydi0us92]

She’s exactly what my life has been missing 😍

[@alainpinsotes4844]

I remember watching every single one of her videos more than a year ago and wondering why all her videos don't get millions of views. FINALLY this Tiny Desk feature is a step in the right direction!

[@Dany_0_]

i found out about her on tiktok. lol

[@Ri_5475]

I just found her music from the game "life is strange true colors" and I gotta say her music is really good

[@TheAMaazing]

Absolutely beautiful Maia 💖

[@atheavocado827]

My favorite KZbinr listens to one of my favorite artists? That's AMaazing :)

Tysm!!

[@kierah16]

Bless you, sir or ma'am 🙏 🙇‍♀️

[@dulce3841]

the softness of her voice is so calming i wish more people would’ve discovered her by now

[@ethandoors]

This feels like a warm blanket on a chilly, rainy day. Wonderful.

[@leviackermannn9338]

I watched this under my blanket next to the window while it rained outside :'D

[@leuuniverso]

right? this feels so precious.

[@luminousluma6046]

Revisiting the Dawn & Dusk era for the nostalgia...

[@Jazlindoll]

Ugggghhh this felt like watching a close friend perform her songs at the local coffee shop you guys go together

[@ILOVEJOJOVEVO]

it's maia's world we're just living in it

[@MrDarren690]

Don't agree with the general premise that we occupy "her" world, *but* I do love her songwriting and vocal clarity. It's so crisp it's like smelling fresh-cut grass.

[@mattgomez115]

Good lord, her voice is smoother than the top of a buttered pancake.

[@xxfireages]

First time I'm hearing of her, absolutely spectacular. Got a new fan in me!

[@nyano_aaram]

Me and you both brother

[@Mysterialic]

Her voice is so soothing.

[@sacriste]

She was one of my favorite artists of 2020 in Spotify. Her recorded music is a demonstration of how good pop music can be.

[@iheartbish]

I rarely connect with a musician so quickly...i adore these lyrics, her voice, and the sound. BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[@nishnosha4887]

I'm so proud of Maia omg. myself and a friend of mine would sing her songs together back in 2017/2018 and to think that Maia's now on Tiny Desk is just AAAAAA

[@jaclynbrilliant7042]

So lovely. Special shout-out to Nicole Wakabayashi on keyboard!

[@jakeharvey6692]

Her voice is so pure, it’s unreal

[@Hell0_mars]

I’m so glad people are getting to know her more and we get to hear her voice way more then before ❤️

[@thartwig]

Never thought I'd see mxmtoon on NPR. Maybe Cavetown next if he ever breaks out

[@rebelz9489]

Agreed :)

[@Iioncreek]

Theyve done a lot less mainstream people than cavetown, so hes def a possibility

[@seeluet]

vouch!!!

[@keirab1798]

I was thinking the same thing! and maybe conan, chloe and dodie too-

[@wintrwunderland]

@@keirab1798 Slight issue. Both Cavetown and dodie are exactly one ocean away.

[@artstandardtime]

Sign her up for a Disney movie

[@Hell0_mars]

YESSSSSSSSSS 100%

[@ryleighd7147]

PLEASE SHES LIKE A DISNEY PRINCESS

[@pri2x0x]

Snow White!

[@carissanami5824]

omg yes, she will be a great voice actress too 💕 I can imagine her voice fits into disney soundtrack

[@BimberlyBubanne]

For some reason I thought of a disney channel original like camp rock 🤣

[@enrarmandahmed9755]

Why does her voice give me nostalgia ?

[@dizzlethechef]

Same, but I can't figure out who her voice reminds me of.

[@arthurreckelberg6578]

note choice on the melody helps a lot!

[@damonbourne]

Because she doesn't sing using the au courant "Speech Impedement" style.

[@TwHkAus]

Her voice reminds me of Clara C

[@arthurvo1618]

the first song gives me so much nostalgia but idk to what

[@marcosfelipe99mfc]

doing a Tiny Desk on the world's biggest desk.... this is so Maia, i love it

[@Kawkkee]

Glad to hear her in this tiny desk concert! Her music has been accompanied me through the whole 2020, and will continue in 2021 :)

[@DD-hb9gr]

the depth the piano adds to prom dress truly makes me cry it’s so good 🥺🥺

[@ken4722]

I love when the Tiny Desk introduces me to dope artists I have never heard of before. What an incredible story teller!!!

[@sarahm.4615]

YAAAAAAAY ITS HER TIME NOW OMG I love her so much

[@BuckRogers2000]

I describe her voice, when I reviewed her album Dusk, as comfort food for the soul. Truly a talented young lady!

[@LaurenTv100]

New fan, just looked this up after hearing a mxmtoon cover of And it Was at a restaurant this weekend. Really love your voice Maia and I the quality of this recording is just perfect. Well done!

[@sophieobrien8124]

Love the new mxmtoon song with Aussie singer G Flip she’s the best

[@shokill]

Never heard of, but now I enjoy very much. Goof stuff!

[@tijnd2891]

Goof stuff homie

[@turntsnaco2878]

Oh my lordy gosh I’ve been waiting forEVER to hear a chill live version of Fever Dream 🥺 her vocals are insanely perfect

[@Cleo_was_here]

The live version is honestly even better than the studio version, my favorite song was fever dream 💜💜💜

[@alanap870]

Her voice is so pure and beautiful.

[@Lyrahd]

The way she performed Bon Iver here HAS to be published on spotify (even though she already did an acoustic version)!

[@spacekittn]

Her voice is absolutely stunning in such an effortless way. She sounds just like in the studio 🎙

[@reynaldopinoart]

Panamanian first listenning, and now im fan of your music, great minimalism arrangements, everything feels soulful!

[@solarsatori]

Her: Hi, i'm M X M toon Me a dyslexic: has been calling her mixmoon for months

[@gabrielaf93]

What a glad surprise to find Mxmtoon on this channel. She’s so talented and writes great songs, can’t wait to see her growth and evolution from now on!

[@jill5325]

Omg she sounds flawless in the first song HOWWW 🤩

[@rom7633]

i miss the bookshelves in the background of TinyDesk so much that it didn't even register to me that this was still TinyDesk. Anyways, mxmtoon is great!

[@emberchord]

Oh my god, this is the first time I hear of her. I love this!

[@Thirteenthdi]

Yeeees. Weirdly discovered her via Delta's in-flight radio not so long ago. Very glad she's made it this far!

[@galenavang]

When the time stamp thingy for Bon iver says Bony Bear XD thats so beautiful

[@lemonadecandy7346]

Finally! Our baby girl is getting the recognition she deserve. 😢💕

[@emilymills4838]

I’m so insanely proud of her❤️ I’m so lucky to have fallen in love with her work several years ago

Omg I’m on love with this band! Just clicked on the video out of curiosity and I’m so happy I did! 💜

[@heidiWava]

Same, same!

[@ClarenceTing]

Get it, Maia! These are some of my favorite renditions of your songs. Sound quality is excellent. With this Tiny Desk Concert, you've satisfied both my middle aged love of NPR and my forever emo inner teen. Proud of you!

[@squidsion]

i’m so proud of maia! i’m also so excited for all the people hearing maia for the first time :)

[@reyband141]

Wow this is disturbingly good 😳

[@elenabenavides4146]

Maia is my all time favorite artist. She was my top artist of 2020 on Spotify. And I was fortunate enough to be able to talk to her on the phone when she had an open hotline on stream back in October; probably one of the best experiences ever :)

[@ThedudenamedK]

Literally the best version of fever dream fs

[@gyotv1451]

her voice is really really clean... wow

[@keirab1798]

ngl never thought I'd get to see maia do one of these bUT I'M SO GLAD SHE DID AND I'M SO PROUD OF HER AND I'M GONNA GO CRY IN THE CORNER NOW-

[@brittanybasden2658]

There is something so pure about her voice. I discovered mxmtoon sometime in 2020, and I am so stoked to see her on Tiny Desk!

[@insydi0us92]

How did KZbin know I’d love this so much ? Her lyrics are everything I’ve been feeling, I discovered her at the perfect time ✨✨✨

[@makaminted]

I've always gotten serious Imogen Heap vibes from her. Love her sound so much!

[@douen]

Yes! That 's what she remind me of. Imogen Heap is one of my favorite artists and mxmtoon became one of mine too. She is so talented and deserves the world.

[@danah-hx6mk]

I adore the music of course, but the venue is also so gorgeous! That circle surrounding her makes her look like she’s on a little pedestal or something, it’s so lovely :)
