Gearing up for an upcoming album, ‘Where Was I’, talented songstress Mali has recently unveiled her latest single, ‘Spaceship’, a hypnotic cut that gives us a clear indication of the sort of emotionally drenched material we can expect in the future. Written with collaborator Keshav Dhar, the forthcoming LP is set to be Mali’s most personal release to date, and judging by the support she’s receiving across the industry, it won’t be long till she gains wider recognition.
As we dive into ‘Spaceship’, we can’t help but feel rather mesmerised by Mali’s poignant, malleable vocals and her poised, restrained delivery. The track stands out for its lullaby-esque rhythm, with luscious arpeggios and orchestral textures wrapping Mali into a celestial embrace, one that feels light on the soul, one that’s a joy to listen to. Eventually, the record blooms into an epic outro, a fitting resolution to a stunning piece.
Delving deeper into the creative ethos that propels the song, Mali explains: “‘Spaceship’ is a love song for anyone who’s ever felt like a visitor in someone else’s world, close enough to see them clearly, but never quite brave enough to land. A song about wanting to connect while carrying the quiet belief that you don’t belong.” We appreciate the gentle cinematic contour that accompanies such a meaningful song. There’s something very intriguing and cathartic in it.
