Jimmy Mallia, a talented up and coming singer songwriter with a Folksy spin
on his sound. Drawing from a lifetime worth of highs and lows, this
artistโs music lets you dive into his soul and explore the world through
his eyes. Most recently, Mallia has been preparing to release his
newest single, a track called โCover Meโ.
โCover Meโ is an interesting and explosive track taking you through
the mind of a man who just wants to be left alone. It takes on the first
person narrative of a man under psychiatric evaluation, someone who
just wants to be left right where he is.
โItโs about looking at the world outside and deciding that you are
just happy where you are,โ Mallia explained. While the song might sound
like it has an uplifting narrative, it is actually a heavy somewhat sad
story.
โIn the song you can hear the sounds of a storm happening outside, I
think itโs a great representation of what the song is portraying,โ he
said. โGoing through something like this feels like youโre in the middle
of a storm.โ
While this song was not written from Malliaโs direct experience, he
is no stranger to the world of mental illness. Mallia has his own
history of depression, alcoholism and a collection of stories to go with
them.
Now in recovery, this musician is also a major piece of his
community, doing work to help those suffering from addiction or just in
need of a hand up.
โWhen people listen to this song, I want it to remind them that
mental illness is real,โ Mallia stated. โIt isnโt always something that
can be easy to relate to, but that doesnโt make it any less prevalent.โ
Following the release of โCover Meโ, Mallia is looking forward to
sharing a collection of new songs and personal experiences with his
fans. His next upcoming project takes a step away from the heaviness of
addiction and mental illness, and dives into a new kind of sadness.
โMy next project sort of comes from the question of what it would
feel like to lose my mother,โ he explained. โShe is still in my life,
but I think this song lets me explore that feeling while honoring her
and all she has given me.โ The new track takes on a more ballad-like
feel, while still remaining true to Malliaโs creative style.
Along with these upcoming releases, Mallia has so much to offer his
community and fans. This is certainly an artist you will want to keep an
eye out for.
