Maya Hawke Announces New Album ‘Maitreya Corso’ & 2024 Tour Dates

Maya Hawke Announces Fourth Album, ‘Maitreya Corso,’ and Spring Tour Dates

Singer-songwriter and actress Maya Hawke is set to release her fourth studio album, Maitreya Corso, on May 1 via Mom + Pop. The announcement comes with the release of the album’s lead single, “Devil You Know,” and the unveiling of a spring tour schedule that includes stops across the United States. Hawke, known for her roles in television and film – most notably Stranger Things – has increasingly garnered attention for her musical work, blending folk and indie sensibilities with introspective lyrics.

A Fresh World and a New Sound

Maitreya Corso marks a continuation of Hawke’s musical exploration, following her 2024 album, Chaos Angel. According to a press release, the new album was primarily co-produced by Hawke’s husband, Christian Lee Hutson, and Jonathan Low, with additional production from Benjamin Lazar Davis. Recording took place in Woodstock, New York, during the fall and winter of 2025. The album features contributions from guitarist Will Graefe, violinist Odessa Jorgensen, and drummer Michael Riddleberger.

Hawke has described the album’s title character, Maitreya Corso, as a “magical misfit,” suggesting a thematic focus on self-discovery and the power of imagination. She’s even created a dedicated website – a “creative hub” – where fans can share artwork inspired by the album and its fictional world. This immersive approach to her music highlights a desire to connect with listeners on a deeper, more interactive level.

“Devil You Know” and the Album’s Core Themes

The lead single, “Devil You Know,” offers a glimpse into the album’s lyrical and emotional landscape. Hawke explained that the song is “about trying to retain ambition and greed out of the creative process.” Expanding on this, she stated that the album as a whole is “about learning to protect the precious from the poisonous. Protect creation from pride. Protect love from control. Protect collaboration from jealousy.” This suggests a mature and self-aware exploration of the challenges and temptations inherent in artistic creation and personal relationships.

Tour Dates and Performance Schedule

Hawke will embark on her first headlining tour in three years, kicking off on April 10 in Woodstock, New York. The tour will include performances at Levon Helm Studios, Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn, and venues in Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago, Washington D.C., Somerville, and New York City. A complete list of tour dates is available here. Prior to the tour’s official start, Hawke is scheduled to perform at the annual Tibet House U.S. Benefit Concert at Carnegie Hall in New York City on March 3, alongside Christian Lee Hutson.

Confirmed vs. Unclear Details

While much of the album’s details have been revealed, some aspects remain less defined. The complete tracklist for Maitreya Corso has been published, consisting of 13 songs: “Love of My Life,” “Devil You Know,” “Lioness,” “Heavy Rain,” “Last Living Lost Cause,” “Last Thoughts on Morning Star,” “Bring Home My Man,” “Great Minds,” “Green Dragon,” “Slacker in the Rye,” “Terms of Estrangement,” “Maitreya and the Way Back,” and “Dream House.” However, specific details regarding the narrative arc of Maitreya Corso’s story, and how it will unfold throughout the album and tour, have not been fully elaborated. It remains unclear how deeply the “creative hub” website will integrate with the live performance experience.

Hawke’s Artistic Trajectory

Maya Hawke’s career has been marked by a unique blend of acting and music. While gaining recognition for her role as Robin Buckley in the Netflix series Stranger Things, she has simultaneously pursued a burgeoning music career. Her previous albums demonstrate a consistent evolution in her songwriting and musical style. Maitreya Corso appears to be a continuation of this trajectory, showcasing a more refined and conceptually ambitious approach to her artistry. Her willingness to engage with fans through interactive platforms like the album’s dedicated website suggests a desire to build a community around her work and foster a deeper connection with her audience.
