Mahalia has dropped off a brand new single called ‘Letter To Ur Ex’ – you can listen to it below.Produced by BKay, Cadenza and Flip_00, the R&B singer’s short but soulful new record hears her get retrospective, as she asks her partner’s ex to let him go so that she can start a fresh journey with him.“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,” Mahalia explained. “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.”She continued: “I 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.”The track arrives with a video directed by Oliver Kane and Mahalia – check it out below.‘Letter To Ur Ex’ marks Mahalia’s first new music of 2022, following October’s collaboration with AJ Tracey, ‘Roadside’.It’s set to appear on the follow-up to Mahalia’s 2019 album, ‘Love And Compromise’.
