NEW Single "Love Me" by Malachiii Out Now on Motown Records

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? Watch the video HERE.

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.

About Malachiii

Malachiii knows joy. Over the last few years, the young singer, rapper, and producer from Southern California has demonstrated an affection for elastic flows, buoyant rhythms, and melodies lit by a magic-hour glow. This ecstatic energy has made his take on pop, rap, and R&B infectious, but what makes it most special is his willingness to engage in heavy themes with a maturity and grace that belies his age. On songs like Love Me, his debut single with Motown Records, he sings and spits grinning bars, but he also ponders big questions. He’s come to understand that while his ultimate goal is to emit love, light, positivity, and good vibes, it’s most important to stay true to the real depths of his experience, even if it’s not always sunshine and rainbows. Malachiii grew up with the urge to perform, but it was after going on tour with GRAMMY-winning composer AR Rahman at the age of 14 that he felt inspired to write and produce his own music. Over the years, his ability to translate relatable emotions into hooks earned him a publishing deal with Electric Feel (Post Malone, Iann Dior, 24KGoldn), which only bolstered his writing and producing efforts. Now, beginning with Love Me, he’s stepping into the spotlight in his own right, with the hope that his artistry will continue to resonate with listeners. There’s very few people who have a transcendent impact on music, humanity, and culture as a whole, he says. That’s the type of artist I want to be.
