Leicester-born R&B star Mahalia has just blessed us with new music.

At the back end of last year, the songstress supplied us with one of the UK’s hits of the year with her breakup anthem with West London rap star, AJ Tracey for “Roadside.” Since then, the last few months has brought us new singles such as “In The Club,” “Whatever Simon Says,” and “Letter To Your Ex.” However, amongst the new material from this year, the 24-year-old has just thrown in two more gems to compile a five-track EP to keep us going until the sophomore album.

Labelling the EP Letter To Ur Ex, the two new records included in the project (“Forever” and “Letter To Ur N(ex)t”) touch on her love for infatuation and and the struggles that come with heartbreak. But while Mahalia digs deep into her own personal traumas with love, she also gives words of advice for all of the fellow women who may experience the same struggles as her.

Along with the new EP, Mahalia has released a music video for “Letter To Ur N(ex)t” that you can see above. For the whole project, be sure to stream below.

In other music news, Manchester’s Aitch has announced the release of his debut album.
