Maya Hawke has shared the music video for her new single ‘Sweet Tooth’, the latest track to be taken from her upcoming album ‘Moss’.‘Moss’ will be the musician and actor’s second album, following 2020’s ‘Blush’, and will be released next month.The video for ‘Sweet Tooth’ follows Hawke as she takes a trip to the dentist and, after being anaesthetised by laughing gas, slips into a dream that sees her friends holding a memorial for her on the beach. Director Celine Sutter explained in a press release: “‘Sweet Tooth’ was born out of conversations with Maya about the song, the album, and the unique feel of sweetness, cavity, death, and joy.
We discussed care, caretaking, and childhood adult friendships.“In the edit, we found the deconstructed nature of the dream with the behind-the-scenes footage – as if Maya was participating in the making of, and the theatre of, her own funeral. ‘Sweet Tooth’ is a trippy, playful video that embraces the dichotomy of its themes: a joyful and melancholic funeral, a fake dream world with real footage, care and loneliness, sweetness and pain.”Hawke added of the song itself: “‘Sweet Tooth’ was the last song written for ‘Moss’.
The lyrics were written in Atlanta while filming, but Christian [Lee Hutson] and I recorded the first demo in Nashville. When we finished the first recording session, I felt this eruption of joy and I knew this feeling had to be on the record.”‘Moss’ will be released on September 23 via Mom+Pop and will feature the previous single ‘Thérèse’.Speaking to NME about the new album last month, Hawke explained that much of the record is written from the point of view of her high school self and features “songs I wish I’d written when I was 15”.

Joe Otterson TV ReporterWith streamers making their biggest bets yet on content — and more of them about to include advertising options — Variety spoke with Dan Erlij and Allan Haldeman, UTA co-heads of TV literary, about the state of the television industry.In a rare joint interview, the two covered a wide range of topics, such as Netflix’s and HBO’s domination of the Emmys, and how AVOD streaming could bring “transparency we can find in terms of making deals.” The duo have more than 40 years at the agency between them, as well as a roster of A-list clients that includes “Succession” creator Jesse Armstrong, “The Good Fight” duo Robert and Michelle King, and “Atlanta” director and executive producer Hiro Murai. I want to use the Emmy nominations as a starting point. In particular, the fact that HBO/HBO Max got 140 nominations and Netflix got 105. You’d have to add up the next seven platform totals to equal that 245 number. Is it good or bad to have two major players dominating the awards landscape?Erlij: I would say I think you have to look at the shows that are being nominated first and foremost.
