Mahalia is a rising star in R&B, but she doesn't subscribe to the traditional sound — which is one of the things I love about her. The Grammy-nominated Jamaican British artist draws inspiration from icons like Jill Scott and Lauryn Hill, but her music has a personal touch only she can create. Between using throwback samples and adding hints of pop to her music, Mahalia's sound is really one of a kind. Some of her standout songs are "What You Did" featuring Ella Mai, "Jealous" featuring Rico Nasty, and "Roadside," just to name a few.
