Malka Red

Malka Red is a musical collective that formed in London around 2015, led by vocalist and producer Malka Spigel. Their sound pulls from rock, folk, and electronic textures. The group's debut single "Red Queen" came out in 2016, a track built around atmospheric instrumentation and Spigel's emotive vocal delivery.

Spigel grew up in a family involved with music and art, and her early influences included writers like Sylvia Plath and Emily Dickinson alongside musicians such as Björk and PJ Harvey. That background informs the collective's focus on exploring emotional depth and aspects of the female experience in their work.

While the existing history mentions some industry challenges and a refusal to conform to commercial norms, the concrete anchor is their 2016 single "Red Queen," which gained significant attention and helped define their early presence.
