Following a string of hits for Tamil cinema, singer/songwriter Mali (a.k.a. Maalavika Manoj) reinvents herself with Rush, a focused and highly personal collection of songs that touch on life’s transitions and leaps into the unknown. Rush borrows from genres as far-flung as rootsy indie pop and slick, contemporary American country, combining acoustic instrumentation with the warmest melancholy melodies. Mali’s compositions let her sweet, smooth vocals shine through, in a fitting tribute to chasing your dreams.
