Back in February, Mahalia released single ‘Letter To Ur Ex’ – her first new music of 2022, following October’s collaboration with AJ Tracey, ‘Roadside’.

It’s set to appear on the follow-up to Mahalia’s 2019 album, ‘Love And Compromise’. Written during lockdown, the title of the singer’s new LP – which she is yet to reveal – will be inspired by a Maya Angelou poem, she told Rolling Stone UK last year.

Speaking to NME in November, Mahalia said the album is “definitely” going to arrive sometime in 2022.

“I don’t know if it’s going to be quarter one,” she said, before adding: “But if it’s not quarter one, I’m not going to let the people starve. I’m probably going to put out something, maybe an EP.”

Mahalia’s last EP was her award-winning ‘Isolation Tapes’, released in 2020.
