It is beautiful and inspires us so much when we discover new artists from the independent music industry, trying to make it big and become stars in their own making, and one of the stars who is doing this is South Asian American singer-songwriter Mahathi Malladi with her debut 2025 single ‘Say it‘.
While her debut single was released in 2025, we felt it was important to share the talented singer’s song, as it is too beautiful and emotional not to, and it is also a way for us to influence our readers to stream her new music and to check out her socials, as Mahathi is a one-of-a-kind singer in the world of music.
Sharing her first-ever single ‘Say It’ in 2025 was only the start of something magical for Mahathi. With her exquisite and soft vocals, she uses real and raw experiences, exploring the gut-wrenching feelings anyone can go through when you like someone but were used and mistreated in a relationship, but either way, you still want them in your life, wanting them to try again. We have all been there, where you want someone to meet you halfway, but you keep getting crushed.
Using inspiration from her signature sound of soulful pop and R&B music, she draws off the influences from music icons Ariana Grande, JoJo and SZA. However, she has a unique way with how her vocals convey in the song, making it her own and giving her all in the track, filled with emotions dealing with heartbreak and passion for wanting more from a relationship that is slowly going south.
Starting in 2011 with her music career, Mahathi began performing covers on YouTube, where she grew her following and has built 1.9 million views to date. She brings honesty and real connection to her lyrics, whether it is an original song like ‘Say It‘ or covers, she makes it her own, and uses her intriguing, mesmerising singing style to captivate listeners.
