Looking back

When Mahalia was on Plan B, last October, she said that she thought that  2019 was going to be very exciting and she hoped to release an album.

On Saturday’s Plan B she told Sarina that she was blown away that it all happened and more.

Given the year she’s had this year, you would never think that she almost gave it all up in the summer of 2017.

Mahalia felt burnt out and had lost the passion.

The making of ..

Moving home helped her find it and writing about what is close to her was essential to getting this album made.

Mahalia hopes that anyone who listens to her music walks away feeling empowered and believing that they can achieve anything they set their minds to.

2019 has been an exciting one for Mahalia but she hopes that 2020 will be even better.

With her debut album now out she hopes to tour the world and even start working on her second album next year.

Love and Compromise is available now.
