Further to performing to a jam-packed audience at the John Peel stage at Glastonbury Festival on Friday and announcing her hugely anticipated debut album Love & Compromise last month, breakout star Mahalia has today unveiled her superb new summer single Simmer which features Nigerian star, Burna Boy. Produced by Felix Joseph and Jonah Christian, the track also contains portions of Playground Riddim performed by Jeffrey Harding which was later sampled in Beanie Man’s iconic 1997 hit, Who Am I (Sim Simma).
As an artist signed at just 14, Love & Compromise is the rich fruit of Mahalia’s developmental journey thus far. On her debut LP Mahalia’s playfully infectious spirit intertwines with her youthful charisma, idiosyncratic storytelling and consciousness – attributes that have set her apart from her peers and seen her become one of the UK’s most-loved rising stars. Production and writing turns come from the likes of Sounwave (Kendrick, St. Vincent, Schoolboy Q), DJ Dahi (Drake, Pusha T), Sam Dew (Zayn, Taylor Swift) and Pop Wansel (Ariana Grande, Alessia Cara) as well as long-time collaborator Maths Time Joy. The record is executively produced by Felix Joseph who helps create the perfect sonic backdrop for Mahalia to shine and the result is a future-classic.
The Leicester native enjoyed an incredible 12 months, quickly becoming one of the year’s most exciting breakthrough artists. She rode fast in her own lane, winning YouTube’s inaugural ‘One To Watch’ list and soon after became the only musician to be tipped for the BRIT’s Critics Choice Award and the BBC Sound Poll shortlists earlier this year. Mahalia found success via her uncompromising, buoyant songs such as Sober her debut single which was released in the summer of 2017 and One Night Only, a single which was taken from her hotly acclaimed 2018 EP Seasons.
Mahalia recently graced Australian shores for the first time over the summer, delighting audiences at Falls Festival and Field Day as well as selling out headline shows in both Sydney and Melbourne.
