Mahalia details forthcoming EP, Luvergirl
Following recent single "Instructions", Mahalia has announced the release of her forthcoming new seven-track EP Luvergirl.
Co-written with the likes of Eric IV, BenjiFlow and Savannah Jada, the project was written across the UK, Jamaica and St Vincent.
Through her childhood, visits back to the island had been to see her mum’s side of the family, but Mahalia had long been craving an opportunity to get to know the Jamaican music scene - this was her time to immerse herself there and create. “It was really important for me to be able to tap into that world,” she says, “And it’s quite special to hear my voice in that way.”
“It feels like the era of girls just taking back a bit of our fucking control, you know, not being slut-shamed, not being taken the piss out of, not being told that we can't do,” says Mahalia, “It’s not that I'm talking about all those issues in the music, but that's where I was at when I was creating it. And it's funny because in all the songs, really and truly, it's me telling these men what to do in a sense.”
Tracklist:
- Different Type of Love feat. Masicka
- Pity feat. Tanya Stephens
- Pick Up The Pace feat. Bayka
- Instructions

Luvergirl, will be dropping on 15 August.
