Maline Aura’s soulful, sultry voice cascades over the colorful Afro-house soundscape that makes up her debut EP, complementing her poetic articulation of various subjects, such as her loyalty to her mother (“Mama”), her inevitable fate (“iFu”), and hustling for her money (“Mabebuza”). On “Tanganyika,” her explosive duet with Zulu Afro-soul singer Mnqobi Yazo, she sings about the mesmerizing effects of love over a bouncy rhythm and recurring synth stabs.
