Maya Hawke, “Black Ice” – Opening with “Black Ice”, Hawke’s soft instrumentation and tender vocals carry a narrative about wanting authentic love without worrying about dishonesty. Lyrics such as, “Can you keep a secret without telling a lie? / Can you go to bed without saying goodnight?” show her hesitancy towards jumping into a relationship.
