We been sitting here for hours now, talking on the phone
Wanna close my eyes but don't want to let you go
Tell me something bout you babe something I don't know
Just another minute of your time another minute of your time
The way, you whisper in my ear babe
It makes me feel like you're right here babe
So is this what they call the honeymoon...
"Naked" by Malia from Late Bloomer EP
Malia's 'Late Bloomer' EP, so eloquently puts in words what we feel when we share our personal space and time with someone. It's sacred. It's real, and it should be enjoyed just being while being completely authentic with one another. Intellectual, swagged out, solid, accepting, delicate love. Malia delivers game ever-so-softly from song to song. I want to say who she reminds me of, but I won't say that here. You will have to contact me on Instagram @reallynotradio to find out. Hint: They are both two great entertainers from my 80's/90's baby generation.
To note, Malia has the best break downs of life. I promise you. Who is the drummer? The bassist? Is that Malia playing the electric guitar? I have questions. We need answers lol. She takes you on an exploration of sound with smooth bass lines, crisp drums, warm percussive sounds, and I DO believe she is playing ALL the guitar parts. She's killin', on her song "Dirty Laundry" featuring @Syd. Crazy. @nicky_nickydavey @nickydaveymusic produced and @rosegold helped wrist out these songs on 'Late Bloomer', which can be streamed on Apple Music, Spotify and Soundcloud. Fun fact: I discovered Malia through an Instagram video clip. I will have to look for it. Then, my next introduction to her musical magic was when she dropped "Satisfaction" on Soundcloud a few years back. A must listen. Malia turned out to be all that I was hoping for and more. I love EVERY song, NO LIE #OnRepeat. Support independent artists when they come to your city to hang out with us. Follow them to stay in the loop of all the action. ENGAGE!
Here's a lil sumthin'. Clearly, I was completely inspired by this project. Stream her album below and add it to your collection for sure.
