May 31, 2024Chaos Angel stays inherently pure, expertly produced in a way that Hawke’s airy vocals are free to dance over a gathering of enchanting instrumentation. Still, her poetic writing achievements rest at the foreground of the record, demonstrating a detailed surveillance of her life, in order to acquire some valuable closure in the face of chaos.
-
May 31, 2024Chaos Angel isn’t just an album but a creative manifesto—a declaration of Hawke’s unwavering commitment to her craft and her refusal to be confined by the limitations others may seek to impose.

MojoMay 31, 2024In the best sense, she ticks boxes. With a slightly kooky voice, the bravery to unconventionally strip things down (the acoustic Dark is propelled by drums), a winning way with a hook (Missing Out swings) and a turn of phrase which veers from acerbic ("She says 'I might be a genius'/Well, she could be a model...") to lovelorn ("I want you to come over/So I can lay in your lap"). [Jul 2024, p.86]

May 31, 2024Generally apologetic, reassuring, and hopeful, Chaos Angel is a comforting album that features some of Hawke's hookiest and most self-assured material yet.

Jun 20, 2024Only with Chaos Angel did some distinct and more poppy details begin to emerge, and they are woven into folksy tunes so subtly that Taylor Swift will have a lot to think about when listening to it.
-
Jun 4, 2024Chaos Angel delivers what Hawke is known for and steps out of bounds but a few times, suggesting the best next move is to commit to a full-throated rebrand for at least one album cycle or return home with platinum-quality output.

Jun 6, 2024A further expansion of the clean stream of consciousness that is her discography, Chaos Angel proves, at its worst, that Maya has found her groove and ain't nothing's going to break her autumnal stride.
