UK R&B artist Mahalia has released her new EP Luvergirl today 15 August 2025, marking a liberating and deeply personal return to her Jamaican roots, crafted amid creative inspiration drawn from the UK, Jamaica, and St. Vincent. The seven-track collection is a vibrant exploration of feminine agency, where Mahalia confidently reclaims control in love and life, unchecked by societal judgments. Co-written with collaborators like Eric IV, BenjiFlow, and Savannah Jada, the EP reflects her most culturally connected, sonically bold era yet.

British singer-songwriter Mahalia has released a new song titled ‘Instructions’ alongside a music video. The track follows the recent release of ‘Different Type of Love’ featuring Masicka, and continues the artist’s exploration of themes surrounding romance and nightlife.
