Their new album Ripples (Echoes of Dreams) is a new look at their album Echoes of Dreams - it's not a remake in the usual sense, but a highly emotional current commitment of the British-African musician to her roots, paired with the experiences from previous albums. Carefully accompanied by pianist Alexandre Saada and his arrangements for a string trio, Malia has radically gutted her own work - from playful pop jazz at the beginning of her career to a blues and soul-soaked sound that more than ever relies on the power of her voice.

"Sometimes you get a second chance in life to come to terms with yourself," Malia talks about the motivations to rethink the echoes of her dreams in a musical way: "Many of my song lines have gotten a much deeper meaning for me today, and I felt a strong inner urge to shape it with my present day experiences, including those hardships of my life. " 

Malia is known for her expressive voice. Early on, she found her way to the stage and her singing style flirted with styles from the 1960s and 1970s. Her role models include Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan and Nina Simone. In 2013 she received the Echo Jazz as "International Singer of the Year". Her African roots explored Malia with her 2016 on MPS released album Malawi Blues / Njira.
