19 year old singer Mahalia has teamed up with London based rapper Little Simz on her new single Proud Of Me. After dropping her debut single Sober last summer, Mahalia was quick to gain support and was thoroughly put on the map after amassing over 13 million streams on the track. Her latest work, produced by Maths Times Joy, builds on her sound of hip hop and RnB offering a grooving single topped by her trademark smooth and soulful vocals. 2018 is set to be a big year for Mahalia, who will be supporting BRITâs Critics Choice winner Jorja Smith on her UK tour as well as a 14 date European stint next month, including 2 sold out London shows.
Commenting on the track, Mahalia has said, “I wrote this tune not long before my Birthday last year. It’s the first time in my short music career that I had stepped out on my own. I stumbled for a while I think… tried to get my priorities straight. But, once I understood that, everything kind of fell into place. The one thing I have always said that makes me truly happy is knowing that my family, friends and you guys are proud of what I have achieved. I’ve always wanted to work with Lil Simz. So, this was crazy for me. She gave me all the extra magic that I needed.”
