MALIA is a powerful songwriter who draws inspiration from R&B and neo-soul to elevate her story to the surface. Her newly released album Back in My Body dives deep into the obstacles MALIA has overcome as an artist that have only made her stronger. Exploring her struggles with sobriety, negative thought patterns, and feeling out of place, Back in My Body is a serendipitous return of her soul with herself.
Back in My Body breaks through the darkness with sun-drenched riffs, ruminative percussion, and soul-sparking vocals that ignite a fire within. MALIA’s third track “Cruise Control” demonstrates new levels of vulnerability as she chronicles her life-altering journey toward sobriety at present. Her song “Minding My Own” is a love letter to herself that expresses appreciation for all the time she spends alone. Her powerful closer “Back in My Body” brings the album full circle and reconnects MALIA with the inner-depths of her spirit.
Back in My Body marks the beginning of a promising new chapter for MALIA. She was recently featured on Alicia Keys’ 20th anniversary of Songs In A Minor where she was chosen to cover a song. MALIA is a promising voice for the future of R&B to come and if it sounds anything like Back in My Body, then the future is bright.
