The vibrant Celtic-pop warrior Mali Hâf is set to release her latest single, ‘Esgusodion’. Known for her unique songwriting abilities that blend Welsh folksy roots with contemporary electronic beats, Mali’s new track promises an intense, celestial, and powerful experience. With pounding percussion, softly shimmering synths, and dystopian stabbing effects, ‘Esgusodion’ offers listeners a magical journey through angelic tones and raw rhythms. This single is a testament to Mali’s unapologetic performance poetry, creating vivid humanity in every note.
Reflecting on the new release, Mali shares, “Esgusodion translates to Excuses” Are you tired of hearing excuses? Excuses from politicians, excuses for self-serving unethical behaviour, even for war and genocide; excuses from the ones you love; And let’s face it, excuses from your very own brain!
They are undeniably everywhere in life, but if you can rise above them and throw them away for a while, be true to your inner courage, then freedom and peace can follow (and we need more of these!) I hope you hear some of that in this song. Frustration with the world, yes, but expressed with some tongue-in-cheek humour, to take refuge in courage, fun and freedom of mind”
Mali Hâf draws influence from ethereal soundscapes akin to Aurora and the theatrical flair of Kate Bush, blending them with traditional Welsh elements. Her unique soundscapes are sung in both English and Welsh, showcasing her ability to merge the modern with the traditional. Adorned in Celtic war paint, Mali commands the stage with a captivating blend of ritualism and performance art, creating a live experience of unbridled self-expression. With a sold-out show and a compelling performance at Huw Stephens’ BBC Radio 6 Launch Show, Mali’s infectious energy and unique talent continue to captivate audiences. As fans anticipate the release of ‘Esgusodion’, it’s clear that Mali Hâf is a force to be reckoned with.
