Originally from Dublin, Irish creative Malaki has now grown into a national treasure, so much so that his following has been getting quite substantial even in the UK. Having just performed a sold-out show at the Dublin Castle in London, the talented artist has recently unveiled one of his best records to date, ‘Saoirse’, a meaningful and personal look at Malaki’s own urban upbringing. What unfolds in the single is an electrifying, bold listening experience, a charmingly nostalgic and raw account of teenage rebellion and uncontrolled fervour.
However you look at it, ‘Saoirse’ sees Malaki at his most fearless and most honest, sharing a deeply heartfelt tale of Irish identity and urban-focused youth. As we are told: “‘Saoirse’ takes its name from the Irish word for Freedom. It’s also one of Ireland’s most popular girls’ names. Malaki is drawn to the powerful contradiction at its core: shouting Saoirse can sound like calling a person, yet it’s also a cry for freedom in his native tongue. Inspired by Malaki’s youth in Dublin, ‘Saoirse’ bottles the feeling of growing up restless and mischievous, craving more, wanting to roam further, while the weight of parentsand environment pulls you back.”
