" I Do Still" - Played on All FM- Breakfast Express May 25th 07
Maliika derives from the Arabic meaning of Queen, her mother a mixed race black african travelled far from Durban to England early in her life, her father a true english man both brought her in to the world smack bang in the begining of the 1980’s and from the day she could talk she would sing !
Having searched for a distinctive sound that communicates the many parts that make Maliika, she now has clarity in the kind of music she wants to make.
"Although I have been writing and singing with intention since I was in my early teens, it has been my emotional and physical journey, to different parts of the world and to different parts of myself that has made my songwriting develop over the past 6-7 years, previously i have worked with other artists and bands and gone in a few different directions, but now feel I have firmly found my place within the genre I am doing now, I love incorporating different genre’s in songs, but my heart stays with Electronica"
Work has now started on her second EP "Numa’s Playground" following on from her first "ReD PaPeR DrEAmS" in early 2006.
"I am working like a trojan writing and recording the new material, I want this one to blow people away, the first EP was very much a growing pains process, I was without a doubt still finding my sound and also felt I had rushed the process as I had wanted material to take over SXSW, but this one has come about organically and feels right and that I’m ready for people to sit up and take notice "
Maliika produces the whole package from the writing and the production of the tracks, to the engineering, mixing and mastering, but on this EP she has decided to go outside of her own little bubble.
"For this EP I wanted to use more musicians, more writers and even bring someone in to help with the mixing and mastering, I know from the work i do with other bands in the studio a fresh pair of ears and creative opinions brought to the music is nothing but a blessing and I want to utilise this.
The reason I have decided to work with different writers and producers, again has ben an organic process, it has just been people that have either been looking for vocalists and/or writers and the stuff we have produced has been beautiful so there’s no reason for me not to go with it ! "
So keep keep checking back for New, Blogs and brand new songs off of the Forthcoming EP "Numa’s Playground"
