Malaka Releases Second Studio Album

A 9-year old Nigerian singer, Makayla Malaka, has released her second studio album titled “Nine,” exactly a year after she released her first album.

The album, which will be released to the digital music stores from today, is the young artist’s second studio album and contains nine hit tracks.

Makayla’s musical journey started with her singing professionally at six when she released her first single as a recording artist at the age of seven.
She released her first studio album ‘Eight’ on her eight birthday which was on June 27, 2020. Known for her versatility, Makayla dabbles into different music genres while retaining a strong pop feel.

Prior to the release, the new album has four already released singles: “The 2020 Trees, Thank you God, Don’t Give Up and African Princess,” which are currently receiving great reviews both nationally and internationally.

Surprisingly, Makayla’s biggest musical influence is the king of pop himself, Michael Jackson. It is no surprise that she aspires to be as big as the late pop star someday, and the quality of her work tells us this is not impossible.

If curious about who she sings for, Makayla enjoys making music for everyone. Her music has been regarded as a source of inspiration by different age groups and also an encouragement that there is a golden future for Nigerian Music.

The multi-gifted Makayla is also currently co-authoring a book with renowned children’s author and a collaborator on one of her tracks, Sope Martins. The book, African Princess, titled after the song collaboration, is set to be released later this year.
