Mahalia Trades Solitude For Love In Video For Cosy New Single "Bag Of You"


November 14, 2022

Back in May, Mahalia penned the five-track Letter To Ur Ex EP where she reflected on the imperfections of a relationship, eventually cutting ties with the past. Now she settles into a wholesome and new connection that she can't get enough of on "Bag Of You".

JD Reid and Max Pope construct the minimal soundscape of delicate guitars and a sea of backing vocals emphasising Mahalia's love-struck phrases. The Oli Kane-directed visual is just as romantic as she opens with a short poem detailing her desire for solitude before a love interest joins her on an empty Camber Sands for an intimate embrace.

"This song is one of my favourites so far," Mahalia comments. "'Bag Of You' is all about that sweet spot in a relationship when everything is just lovely; where the idea of being without that person—even just for a second—is too much to bear. I love everything about this record. It's definitely the start of what's to come next year."
