MEET MAHALIA
Vevo, the world’s leading music video network, announces the release of Mahalia‘s live performance of her latest single, “Terms and Conditions.” Mahalia previously worked with Vevo in 2018 as a DSCVR artist. She performed hits like “Surprise Me” and “One Night Only (feat. Kojey Radical),” as well as in 2019 for Studio Performances of “Honeymoon” and “Do Not Disturb.”
“It’s almost like a love letter to myself whilst being a warning to others,” says Mahalia, “It’s about setting boundaries and deciding what things I would no longer compromise.”
