The second single to be taken from Chiiild’s (real name Yonatan ‘Yoni’ Aya) upcoming album ‘Hope For Sale’, ‘Awake’ is a lustful track infused with sensual guitar and bass strings.
Illustrating lovers longingly anticipating a reconnection after waiting what seems like forever, Chiiild compares the feeling to “when the week’s finally over and you need to take the weight off.”
Speaking on collaborating with Chiiild, Mahalia said: “I love Chiiild and I couldn’t be prouder to be a part of this beautiful song. Hope you all love ‘Awake’ as much as I do.”
Listen to ‘Awake’ below:
Chiiild’s upcoming album is slated for release this Summer via Avant Garden Records.
Mahalia has been busy with a series of collaborations as of late. Last month, she teamed up with Rico Nasty for ‘Jealous’, her first song of 2020, before that she joined Pa Salieu on ‘Energy’ – taken from the rapper’s ‘Send Them To Coventry’ mixtape.
In December, Mahalia was among the winners at 2020’s MOBO Awards, walking away with two trophies.
