The British reinvention of soul continues with Mali Michael. A second-generation soul singer, Michael released his first single, the mysterious, glitch-y “Ghost” last month. His follow-up song “Wild” is just as promising; a languid meditation on longing. “It’s when you’ve got that itching feeling for someone,” the 20-year-old North Londoner explains. “You already know them; you’re deep into them. You’ve just got to be with them, but there’s always two sides to it.” With his careful ‘fro and freckles, Michael certainly looks the part of an earnest, contemporary crooner, but that doesn’t mean he’s not a normal, messy 20-year-old who loves living with his friends in the neighborhood he grew up in and dreams of collaborating with Pharrell.
