Mahalia drops off upbeat new single 'Instructions'

Mahalia steps up with her latest single ‘Instructions’, an upbeat, dance-leaning release that feels tailor-made for summer. Known for her soulful reflections and rich storytelling, the Leicester-born artist shifts gears on this one - delivering a playful yet commanding energy that adds a new dimension to her already versatile catalogue.

After the warmly received collaborations with Lila Iké on ‘Pressure Points’ and Masicka on ‘Different Type Of Love’, Mahalia leans further into a rhythmic, feel-good sound. Produced by Malik Ninety Five and Mike Baretz, ‘Instructions’ blends sharp percussion with fluid melodies, creating the perfect backdrop for Mahalia to deliver lines that are both cheeky and empowering.

Visually, the single is brought to life by director Douglas Reddan, whose cinematic lens adds vibrancy and flair to the track’s playful tone. The video elevates the experience, offering fans a full-circle moment that captures Mahalia’s continued growth.

‘Instructions’ is a bold reminder that Mahalia’s artistry knows no bounds. As she continues to experiment with sound and style, she’s doing it on her own terms, and we’re all better off for it.
