Everything You Wanted to Know About ‘dirty dishes’ Singer-Songwriter KiNG MALA
If you're not already obsessed with L.A.-based alt-pop artist KiNG MALA, let us get you hooked with her latest single "dirty dishes."
The fuzzy, dream-like track dropped earlier this month, serving as an ode to both executive dysfunction and new love—the kind that gets you off your butt and actually makes you feel like getting your life together, so you might seem like less of a mess. Driven by a funky, thumping bassline and KiNG MALA's playfully soulful vocals, it hasn't left our heads since we first heard it, and we wouldn't have it any other way. She also has a bigger project slated for later this year, and we cannot wait—but in the meantime, here's everything she shared about herself with us as our latest Woman Crush Wednesday.
