Award-winning British R&B artist Mahalia has released her new single ‘the 5 stages of heartbreak’, marking her first release as an independent artist following 14 years working with a record label.
Accompanied by an official new video, the track explores the emotional complexities of a relationship breakdown through the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.
Drawing inspiration from the end of a four-and-a-half-year relationship and conversations in therapy, Mahalia reflects on the experience of grieving a relationship before it has officially ended.
The single also introduces her forthcoming album, which will explore heartbreak, personal growth and the unpredictable nature of emotional recovery.
