May 21st 2021, Swedish newcomer MTLDA releases her brooding R&B laced debut single ‘We Got History’ via independent label 3tone Records. Shortly after she followed up with her second single "Low Lights" featuring rapper AKTHESAVIOR.
Born and raised in Gothenburg, MTLDA has always been surrounded by music - both of her parents were in a band together and they encouraged her to express herself and explore music freely through regular family jam sessions - whilst her love for soul and jazz comes from her grandfather who was a professional pianist. Inspired by powerful singers like Christina Aguilera, as well as contemporary R&B artists including Kehlani, SZA and Miguel, she started writing songs with the idea to combine her R&B laced vocal melodies with pop production with elements of hip-hop.
