Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Ashlynn Malia’s muse is divination. “I feel like it's a big part of who I'm as a person,” she says. “It just leaks into my music, which is why I also really liked cultivating a very ethereal, mystical quality for my new album.”
Malia’s life itself has been like a very eclectic Tarot spread — from precocious multi-instrumentalist to metaphysical pop star, all culminating in her first LP, MALIA, out 1/19 via Jullian Records. “I’m in my ethereal pop era,” she says with a laugh. But she’s not joking. The musician has had more reinventions in her 22 years than most people have in a lifetime. From tween musician to dancer and back again, Malia has lived a thousand lives before finding her sound on MALIA.
MALIA is the follow-up 2021’s ode to loneliness, Rather Be Alone, and 2023’s Navigating Galaxies, an inimate collection of voice memos, sketches of songs sung like she’s in the room with you. All were produced by the same team, who teamed up with Malia in 2018 after her first song, “Desperate,” went viral, ending up in an adaptation of Stephen King’s The Stand.
All told, MALIA is only seven songs, but it’s a full journey all the same — the story of a life dedicated to art and beauty, of a young woman finally coming into who she is. As Malia herself says: “It's not just pop — it’s about visiting another realm.”
