Mali Ama - How The Cookie Crumbled debut EP

Mali Ama, an Atlanta-based R&B singer, is kicking down the door and bursting onto the music scene with her debut EP How The Cookie Crumbled. Her music draws inspiration from classic New York hip-hop and Atlanta trap. But it’s her skill in audio engineering that allows her to create a signature soundscape of her own. Sultry vocals, classic R&B beats, and surprising floating synths come together to create a captivating musical experience.

In How The Cookie Crumbled, Mali explores the beginnings of romance, heartbreak, and a bounce back dripping with sass and confidence.  The overall soundscape of the EP is slow R&B coupled with floating synths to create a sensual, relaxed vibe. 

The EP’s first track, “Oh My,” opens up with an ethereal orchestral swell before her voice flows seductively like honey over a slow chilled-out R&B beat. "Be the man of my dreams, please," she sings, "I pray to God you don't disappoint me." Her lyrics are vulnerable and hopeful – anticipating the blossoming of romance. 

"Lost Love" explores the disintegration of romance – the feelings of disappointment and feeling lost. Songs like "Think Again" and "Miss Me" explore her moving forward and cutting ties with acceptance – and some sass. "Quit calling me... I hear you asking about me since you miss me. It ain't none of your business no more."

How The Cookie Crumbled is the purest reflection of her skills as a vocalist, an audio engineer, and a writer that isn't afraid to be raw and vulnerable. 

The EP is now available on all streaming platforms!
