Mahaliya returned with a new “Always Ready” single – listen below.
This comes from her last single, “Jealous,” which she released earlier this year.
In March Mahalia teamed up with Rico Nasty for this song, which is her first song of 2020. Prior to that, he joined Pa Salieu “Energy”, taken from the reperniki “Send them to Coventry” mixtape. The neighborhood also merged spiritual artist Chiiild on the track “Wake Up” in April.
The singer’s latest song, produced by Two Inch Punch, was written by Mahaliya MNEK, as well as samples from Montell Jordan’s 90s tracks, ‘Get it on Tonight’.
“I was very angry when I released this song. I remember when I was a kid I heard Montell Jordan sing “Save the Last Dance” as “Tonight”. Since then, the song that has made me want to dance and sample it in “When You’re Ready” is very important to me.
“I really enjoyed writing with MNEK and Two Inch Punch. I was going through a divorce at the time and wanted to capture that part of the process. This is my new summer jam. I hope everyone loves it as much as I do! ”
His co-author for the MNEK song: “I have known Mahalia for many years. I resonate with her as a person who started in this field as a teenager and at the same time needs to navigate and develop professionally and personally.
“There has always been something very special about local music, and I’m glad the whole world is watching. His pen, his voice, his defenselessness, his vibration – I love him and this song so much. “
Last December,Mahalia was among the winners of the 2020 MOBO awards and walked away with two awards.
At the awards ceremony, which returned for the first time since 2017, the British R&B star took home the awards for Best Actress and Best Research / Spiritual Activity.
