Discovery: Maya Malkin

I’m not always a big fan of modern pop music, but when it’s as good as XOXO, I can’t help but share it with the world!

By Jane Howkins

Canadian singer-songwriter Maya Malkin has produced something truly wonderful on XOXO. It’s certainly a pop song, but it has more of an indie-pop vein than anything else, sounding pretty much perfect throughout! The main thing apparent here is how amazing Maya’s vocals truly are, drifting through the music in a soft and sultry manner. The music is pretty cool though, although it’s a little understated in the background, allowing the vocals to truly shine through. Give XOXO a go below!
