Mali Music Blends Soulful R&B With Inspirational Hip-Hop On Soulsations

Sunday, October 12:

The fresh sounds of artist Mali Music, and his major label debut Mali Is... will be featured this week on Soulsations. The singer/songwriter, who started out singing in his church in Savannah, GA, is known to produce an uplifting blend of soulful R&B, invigorating hip-hop, and inspiring lyricism.  Mali says the new album harkens back to what he fondly refers to as “the times of Stevie Wonder and the age of Aretha Franklin.”
