IRL [Explicit Content] on CD

British musician Mahalia has released her highly anticipated second album, IRL. Through her new record, the BRIT and GRAMMY nominated artist has delivered a beautiful classic; effortlessly condensing any number of disparate styles and genres into music that thrillingly broaches any gap between Pop, Soul, and R&B. A bold, brave, and courageous leap forward from her debut album Love and Compromise - IRL is an album that speaks to the musical and emotional era of where Mahalia is now, and how she got here. Including 9 brand-new, unheard tracks, the album also includes previously released singles "Terms & Conditions," "Ready," and "Cheat featuring pop powerhouse JoJo. An array of incredible musicians are also scattered throughout the record, including vocal appearances from the likes of Stormzy, Joyce Wrice, Destin Conrad, Kojey Radical, and more. Emboldened by her inflections, insights, and young adulthood, Mahalia is not only breaking the mold on her second album but determined to live life cognizantly. "This is a real reflection of the journeys I've had, what actually happened, and a celebration of everyone who got me there. There are names and family members I mention because it all helped in shaping who I am," Mahalia rationalizes. With an innocent, yet assured gleam appearing on her face, "I'm so proud of this album, and so proud of how much I challenged myself to just let those stories out."
