MALKA – SINGLE REVIEW

Malka - No No No (Tantrum Records) 
Malka - No No No

Release Date: Out Now

We’re getting very close to the new album from Scottish songstress Malka now but there’s just time for one more single before we hit the jackpot. The stroppy sounding ‘No No No’ starts with an uncharacteristic deep bass throb before Malka’s trademark impish vocal kicks in with a carnival beat and a school yard melody that, by rights, be used as the soundtrack for some serious street skipping action. There’s a distinctly wonky guitar and those drums layer up in to a rhythmic lattice like a stack of funky waffles one on top of the other. Gloriously, there’s a juxtaposition here between Malka’s sweet, soft vocal and the lyrical subject matter that holds a mirror to the world and the way we treat the natural resources around it. Throw in some horns for the crescendo and you’ve got yourself what is sure to be a live favourite and perfect little mid set number to whip up a frenzy in the festival tents next summer.
