Mahalia makes a plea to her partner's former girlfriend to stop messaging him and to let him go on her new track - 'Letter To Ur Ex'. 'Letter To Ur Ex' is Mahalia's first new music of 2022 and her first single release since she and AJ Tracey hooked-up on 'Roadside' back in September of last year.
The Leicestershire born singer-songwriter and 'Brotherhood' actress said - "I wrote ‘Letter To Ur Ex’ the morning after me and my guy had had a really bad argument due to a text that had been sent by his ex partner the night before. I think when everybody begins a new relationship, it’s vital that it feels like a fresh start. Like everything before doesn’t really matter and the next journey begins now with only the two of you".
The soulful R&B singer explained that she - "realised through this experience that isn’t always the case. But, really, I just wanted to tell her how her actions were making me feel. How her gain in closure was my loss in love. And though I am also a woman who has felt all of those feelings before, I wanted to ask her to let him go so that I could hold him close. To close their old door so that I could open our new one".
'Letter To Ur Ex' is likely to be the lead track from Mahalia's forthcoming album which is due out this year. Few details are known about her full length follow-up to 2019's 'LOVE AND COMPROMISE' but Mahalia herself has said that the album, inspired by a Maya Angelou poem, will "definitely" be arriving some time in 2022. She recently said that - "I don’t know if it’s going to be quarter one...But if it’s not quarter one, I’m not going to let the people starve. I’m probably going to put out something, maybe an EP".
