How important is it for you as an artist to constantly experiment with your sound? Your music releases to date have been so varied and have drawn on so many different sounds, from R&B to electro to acoustic guitar pop. Literally I believe we didn’t do many takes at all! I just vibed the melody and lyrics straight away. We started having a chat and he played me the instrumental as an idea and the rest was history.

I worked with the producer Lazy H in his home studio, I feel more comfortable in home studios actually because it’s way more intimate and personal. What was the creative process like for this track? I’m letting go and holding on at the same time in ‘Who Knows’ and I really want people to feel the beauty and essence of the unknown. In the song I’m talking about how life throws unexpected things at us and that sometimes all we’ve got to do is enjoy the ride. It's weird because now is the perfect time for the world to hear it although the song was written a few years ago, it’s been my secret comfort.

‘Who Knows’ was written in a moment of frustration similar to what I’ve felt during lockdown actually. But in all the madness I’ve found so much strength and I’ve really enjoyed the simple things that I guess we all easily overlook at times.Ĭongratulations on the release of your new single ‘Who Knows’ it is such a great song! Can you tell us a little bit about the inspiration behind the track? Life in lockdown has certainly been up and down! At the beginning I felt like this isn’t real, this isn’t happening and there have been times where I’ve felt a little lost. We recently caught up with Malunga to find out more about her career and new single. This is one artist it is exciting to watch what comes next. The single ‘Toy’ released in May was a heady, electro/garage banger, while June’s ‘Fly’ was a fully stripped back slice of acoustic guitar pop and with ‘Who Knows’ she embraces soul and R&B. It showcase Malunga’s remarkable talent at being able to completely mix up her sound, never pinning herself to one genre and reinventing herself with every release. Her third single in as many months, ‘Who Knows’ is a summery, carefree R&B jam with inspirational lyrics on the importance of appreciating life in the moment and an effortlessly stunning vocal performance from Malunga. The UK’s Malunga has been releasing music since 2015 and today releases new music in the form of the single ‘Who Knows’.
