Maxx Hemstock’s announcement that ‘LOVST’ would be released next to nobody predicted its massive success. At twenty years old, the artist-producer presents a debut work that possesses both fervent emotion and a compelling edge alongside an undeniable groove. “Black Auden Panties” launches the album with a powerful and enigmatic introduction that resonates with strong emotion and energy. “Kill My Vibe” flips the switch fast, bringing wild energy and confidence that makes it clear that Maxx doesn’t play by the rules. “10pm in New York” presents a smooth soundscape with reflective tones echoing a late-night drive where thoughts become overwhelmingly loud.
The tracks “DLAMLTRN” and “SSMD” deliver glitchy sounds with layered singing and intense tension that makes your head move. Although “Smoke in Peace” slows the pace it maintains its power and provides an essential silent interlude. “Electricity” embodies its name with vibrant energy and restless electricity that glows with neon brilliance. “Talkative” reduces the complexity of their track to a simple yet engaging rhythm alongside a narrative that feels intimate without revealing too much. “Sober Up” stands out as an emotional rollercoaster while “Houseparty” reassures listeners that the album maintains its danceable quality regardless of their mood.
Maxx Hemstock ends the album with “Another High”, “Glow”, “Grateful”, and “Flowers (ending)” before gently closing the door yet leaving a lasting impression. This album makes more than a small impact—it leaves a definitive mark. Maxx Hemstock steps into the spotlight and declares “I’m here”. This album presents ‘LOVST’ as the start of something groundbreaking.
