NEW MUSIC | MALACHIII CONFRONTS HARD QUESTIONS ON DEBUT MOTOWN SINGLE & VIDEO “LOVE ME”

By Rishma Dhaliwal • On What is New


Today, rising sing­er, rap­per, song­writer and pro­du­cer Malachiii opens his heart with the release of “Love Me,” his debut single with Motown Records. Listen HERE. On the track, the 25-year-old South­ern Cali­for­nia artist asks the burn­ing ques­tions that arise when you’re com­ing of age and fall­ing in love: “Will you be there when it rains, when it snows? / Will you be there when I’m out of con­trol?”

The first verse subtly draws listen­ers inward with lo-fi trap vibes and Malachiii’s softly delivered bars, build­ing momentum before his voice starts to soar. The chor­us gets vul­ner­able as he declares that he doesn’t want a partner’s ador­a­tion just to feed his ego—he needs love and sup­port to ease his mind.

“Everything about this song feels so timely and full-circle. In a lit­er­al sense, it rep­res­ents need to have someone that will take me as I am and love me uncon­di­tion­ally through this roller­coast­er that is my life,” says Malachiii, “Sym­bol­ic­ally, it rep­res­ents the new jour­ney ahead and all of the unknowns that come with “launch­ing” my career as an artist and shar­ing my art with the world in the ways that I’ve always dreamed of.”

This new song marks a trans­ition­al moment in Malachiii’s life and career. Although “Love Me” isn’t his first solo single—he dropped the brash rap cut “WYM?!” last September—it’s a bold step for­ward in terms of both artist­ic matur­ity and scale. It’s his first release on Motown, hal­lowed ground for truly emo­tion­al song­writers. This fol­lows him sign­ing a pub­lish­ing deal with Elec­tric Feel. But now, with the release of “Love Me,” Malachiii is demon­strat­ing what’s truly spe­cial about his own music, show­ing the world his truest self, and pre­par­ing for his songs to start res­on­at­ing around the world.
