A departure from Mahalia's usual sound, this collaboration with American rapper Rico Nasty was a little edgier, a little sexier, and a lot more visually arresting than her previous releases, but one of our favourites this year.
"I was sat in the studio with Cadenza and Miraa May getting some stuff off my chest from the past few weeks. 'Jealous' was born pretty fast after chatting," she told magazine DIY. "It was a weird time . . . I was dealing with friends being super unsupportive about decisions I was making and I was struggling with navigating that. I'm really proud and excited about what came out in this song and I hope people love it in the same way we did when we wrote it. Rico Nasty is a badass and one of my favourite artists so getting her to feature was a huge moment for me!"
