““Tumi Aar Aami” also represents an important milestone in Malsi’s artistic journey. As her second Bengali-English release and her first song written predominantly in Bengali, the single highlights her growing confidence in incorporating her heritage into her music. The release carries additional personal significance, with Malsi’s father contributing to the Bengali lyrics, making the song a meaningful collaboration rooted in family and cultural connection.”
“Malsi shares, “My dad actually helped me with the lyrics, and my mom helped me with the previous song I released that’s in Bengali and English, ‘Liberation,’ which is about the Bangladeshi Liberation War of 1971 that their generation survived. I feel like this song has helped me feel truly confident settling into my sound, upholding my roots in combination with my unique production style and sound.”
“As her second Bengali-English release and her first song written primarily in Bengali, “Tumi Aar Aami” feels like a major creative turning point. Rather than chasing a polished, overly commercial version of alternative pop, Malsi leans fully into emotional subtlety and cultural identity.”
“Malsi’s voice moves through the production with a quiet confidence that feels hypnotic. Her vocal layering is particularly striking. Harmonies shimmer in the background like distant echoes, creating a dreamy sonic space that feels both soothing and emotionally charged.
Lyrically, the track carries more weight than the mellow sound initially suggests.”
“Malsi has never been one to stay inside a single box. Long before her music started gaining attention online, she was already juggling multiple creative worlds. She earned her undergraduate degree at Rice University where she studied Sociology along with Visual and Dramatic Arts. Later she completed a master’s degree in Learning, Design and Technology at University of Southern California. The mix of creative and analytical thinking shows up clearly in the way she approaches music.”
“Multi-faceted electrosoul talent Malsi brings alive a fusion of R&B, jazz, soul, and pop to create an emotional musical experience laden with a sultry yet powerful edge. On her latest track “Year of the Ocean,” the multilingual artist captures the thrill and eventual breakdown of a relationship that feels electric yet unhealthy.”
“When the creative ecosystem thrives, society does too. I believe that art is political and has the power to influence not only society but governments and global audiences; with all the destruction occurring in the world now (whether it’s the horrific changes happening in the States on an administrative level to the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza), we need real, human artists now more than ever.”
