Album review: Love and Compromise by Mahalia
Mahalia
Love and Compromise
Atlantic Records
Score: A
If you’re having trouble soothing the painful sting of heartbreak, or if you’re looking for a new single girl anthem, Mahalia’s newly released album Love and Compromise is the album for you. With songs featuring Ella Mai and Burna Boy, Mahalia is able to find the perfect balance between R&B, soul and jazz.
There are noticeable differences between Love and Compromise and her previous album Diary of Me, which I personally feel catered more to hopeless romantics who were just yearning for love. Love and Compromise celebrates newfound independence after ditching a toxic relationship — it is perfectly engineered for listeners who are in need of a good cry and who also want to dance while doing so.
