Editor's note

Mahalia writes plain R&B for ordinary moments

A Leicester singer whose songs talk about relationships and mental health without grand gestures.

If you want to frame her, listen to 'Sober' or 'I Remember'. They're good examples of how she handles relationships and identity without overcomplicating things.

Her music has a straightforward R&B feel that doesn't try to be anthemic. Songs like 'What You Did' with Ella Mai or 'Rollercoaster' are the kind you put on when thinking through something ordinary. She's mentioned Lauryn Hill and Amy Winehouse as influences, but her lyrics about personal situations stay in plain terms.

Mahalia Burkmar started releasing music as a teenager with the 2016 EP 'Head Over Heels'. That led to the 2018 project 'Diary of a Lost Girl' and the 2020 album 'Love and Compromise'. Her work with producers like Kwame and Joe Reeves has kept the sound grounded.
