Mahalia shares new single ‘Ready’, ahead of her forthcoming second album

To help count down the days until the imminent release of her second album, ‘IRL’, on Friday, R&B powerhouse Mahalia has shared the record’s final single, ‘Ready’. It follows on from previous singles ‘Terms & Conditions’ and ‘Cheat’, and acts as a battle cry for the artist, making it clear that she’s ready to take on whatever the industry throws at her.

Speaking about the track, Mahalia explains that “‘Ready’ is the intro on my album. It is a song that perfectly describes where I was at when I started writing this record. I was partially scared - mostly excited. It’s been a long journey to get here but ultimately, I’m proud that I did. I loved this one as soon as I wrote it and I’m genuinely so excited for people to hear it”.

To coincide with the album’s release, Mahalia has also announced the ‘In Real Life’ UK and European tour, which will take place later this year.
