Sep 25, 2019Going by the natural charm of the album and the fun Mahalia seemed to have in making it -- the smile cracked in the chorus of "I Wish I Missed My Ex" is the clearest evidence -- she might only be getting started.

Aug 18, 2020A perfect nostalgic trip to early 2000's RnB. Mahalia sure knows how to make an incredible album. No skip attempts because all songs are bangers.
