20 Mar
Summary
- Malia's new album 'If I'm Being Honest' is a declaration of autonomy.
- She reflects on a decade-long journey in the music industry.
- The album explores vulnerability and embracing one's true self.
Singer Malia, at 39, is releasing her fifth studio album, 'If I'm Being Honest,' this spring. The project is described as a joyful declaration of autonomy and an honest representation of her evolving self. Malia explains that the album is an extension of her 2024 release, 'Back in My Body,' focusing on embracing the best version of herself without apology.
Her musical journey, which she previously tried to avoid, began to open doors after she committed to the path. Early breakthroughs like her 2017 EP 'Late Bloomer' introduced her unique voice, though this period also saw her sign away her masters due to industry naivety. Despite past challenges, including being burned by a trusted collaborator, Malia has continued to evolve.
Looking ahead, Malia hopes her music encourages listeners to find clarity. She emphasizes that self-work is a deeply personal process. Her past struggles with dead-end jobs and a lack of confidence eventually led her to teach herself guitar and share her singing online, setting her on the path to a career she once thought unattainable.
