Mxmtoon released a soft-pop anthem entitled “Kaleidoscope” to preach that people exist in multitudes. This song is a sneak peek into the deluxe version of rising, which expertly articulated an evolution on its way to over 20 million streams. 

The single describes herself as a kaleidoscope despite being often reduced to a one-dimensional form. It captures how women are limited by societal expectations, restricting their true complex mass of beautiful colors. She uses imagery in her lyrics like being “born in a box” and “never shatters glass” and contrasts them with a metaphor of an optical illusion children’s toy known for being mesmerizing and indescribable. The entire song dances along with the visuals it produces in your head. 

“Women are a diverse and beautiful group of people who embody perseverance and bravery, and I wanted to honor that with ‘kaleidoscope.’ I have bent my being until I’m broken for the sake of fitting a mold set for me by others, and I know I’m not the only one. My hope is that this song can embody the softness, strength, fierceness, and ever-expanding nature of what it means to be a woman and celebrates us,” said Mxmtoon.

Look out for the deluxe album on September 16, and catch Mxmtoon on tour this fall!
