Malaika

Malaika is a Liverpool-based artist whose music blends jazz, pop and soul. ‘Out The Back Door’ appears ahead of the six-track EP At The Cafe and focuses on recognising when somebody is wasting your time. Groovy instrumentation and accessible melodies support direct lyrics about unwanted attention, frustration and deciding to walk away. The wider EP draws on real-life experiences involving love, growth and the unsettled parts of young adulthood. Malaika balances conversational writing with bright, rhythm-led arrangements.
