{"product_id":"maitreya_corso","title":"Maitreya Corso","description":"\u003cp\u003eMaitreya Corso is the fourth studio album by Maya Hawke — actress, singer-songwriter, and daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke — released on May 1, 2026 via Mom + Pop. It is the second full-length collaboration between Hawke and her songwriting partner and co-producer Christian Lee Hutson, following their critically acclaimed 2024 record Chaos Angel, and was recorded over the fall and winter of 2025 in Woodstock, New York and New York City. Production duties were shared between Hutson, Jonathan Low, and Benjamin Lazar Davis, with engineering and mixing by Joseph Lorge; the core band includes guitarist Will Graefe, violinist Odessa Jorgensen, and drummer Michael Riddleberger. The album was announced alongside Hawke's first US tour in three years, kicking off with a Tibet House Benefit Concert at Carnegie Hall alongside Philip Glass, Laurie Anderson, and Debbie Harry. The title — meaning roughly \"friendship path\" — refers to the alter ego at the center of the album's semi-autobiographical narrative, a woman finding her footing after the turmoil of a rocky relationship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross its 13 tracks and 49 minutes, Maitreya Corso is described by Apple Music as a \"novelistic, semi-autobiographical song cycle about self-discovery and renewal,\" built from richly detailed storytelling that takes Hawke far beyond the humble twee-folk origins of her earlier work. The lead single \"Devil You Know\" opens as austere avant-R\u0026amp;B before shifting into warm gospel, while the multi-sectional \"Maitreya and the Way Back\" moves between arena-ready love song and free-floating symphonic psychedelia. The album's emotional centerpiece, \"Bring Home My Man,\" strips the arrangement back to its acoustic-troubadour essence, transforming personal reflection on difficult relationships into something reviewers have compared to a universal commitment anthem. Other standout tracks include \"Lioness,\" \"Last Living Lost Cause,\" \"Green Dragon,\" and the closing \"Dream House,\" while \"Slacker in the Rye\" and \"Terms of Estrangement\" demonstrate the literary wit embedded in Hawke and Hutson's lyrical sensibility. The album arrived in the wake of the final season of Stranger Things — in which Hawke plays Robin Buckley — and ahead of her entry into the Hunger Games universe, placing it at a notably high point of public visibility in her career.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ 2LP - Baby Blue + Bone Vinyl","offer_id":53525111898426,"sku":"38059","price":58.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-05-27_at_2.35.27_PM_e8425e4e-01b0-4759-8a34-7514603b6f91.jpeg?v=1782979210","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/maitreya_corso","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
