Mahalia Burkmar, better known by the name Mahalia, is an English singer, songwriter and actress who is based in Birmingham. She is from Leicestershire and got signed to her first record label at the tender age of thirteen. Throughout her career as a musician, Mahalia has released multiple EP's and one album titled "Diary Of Me", which was released back in 2016. To add to her stellar achievements, she has featured on Rudimental's "We The Generation" album and acted in the film "Brotherhood", just showing she is a jack of all trades.
One song of Mahalia's that I am particularly fond of is "Sober" which was released last year and has surprisingly never been featured on this blog before. To me, the song just seems very different not only to Mahalia's other stuff but to anything in the music industry nowadays. The best way of describing the song would be R&B meets neo-soul and the vocals and instrumental are so smooth and desirable. The son is honestly insane so please I've it the recognition it deserves by not only listening to it below but streaming it as much as you can.
Although I do love "Sober", the song that made me fall in love with Mahalia and the song that's my favourite of Mahalia's is "Rollercoaster". The song got suggested to me on Spotify's "Discover Weekly" playlist and before I had heard it, I had never heard of Mahalia before; now I cannot get enough of her, hence why I am doing an "Artist Showcase" on her. In this track, I think her voice is so delicate, innocent and yet again like no other voice I have heard. The song is so catchy and I would appreciate it so much if you just went and gave it a listen down below...
This week's "Song Of The Week" may be one that you have heard a long, long time ago but it has recently been re-released and remixed and is better than ever. Bruno Mars has teamed up with Cardi B on a remix of his track "Finesse" which was reviewed in my album review of his back in 2016. The remix is absolutely incredible and Bruno and Cardi work brilliantly together! The video also gives me complete 90's vibes and I am living for it! This is a song you really need to listen to. So I hoped you enjoyed this "Artist Showcase" on Mahalia. Next week I shall be uploading yet another edition of "My Favourite Little Mix Songs" so I hope you are excited. for that.
Even though I may have told you many times before, please give Mahalia all of your support buy listening to and streaming her material. This girl keeps getting better and better and I would not be surprised if she broke into the top 40 in the future but for the time being, she really needs your support. With another album expected late this year, you need to start listening to this girl because she is truly something else.
