New music from Mahalia is always something to look forward to. On her new single “Proud of Me,” the Leicester singer talks about growing up, keeping her privacy despite fame, and at the heart of it all, wanting to make her family proud. “Think of me as a blank sheet of paper,” she sings. “My life is mine, I am the creator, you don’t own me, you’re not my commentator.” The track also features a killer verse from Little Simz at the end.
“This tune is everything I’ve been tryna say for years,” Mahalia says, and it really shines through.
