Acclaimed for her pure voice and powerful range,
Malynda Hale has never been afraid to bare her soul for the sake of her art. Penning her first song at age nine and taking her fans on the exciting journey through her adult life—the challenges of the music industry, discovering herself, losing and finding love—the singer's heart and passion for her art are evident in every song she writes. "
Music has always been the biggest part of me. When I think of songs that stick most with me, they're the ones that come from the singer's heart. That's what I try to do with my music— each piece I sing and write comes from my heart and my experiences." Malynda has described
The Train Ride Home, her most recent, widely popular
album, as the project she has "never been more proud of." The record got her signed with
Soul Shine PR
Agency and received high praise and incredible reviews from
Blog Critics,
Urban Flux Magazine,
Nerdy Boi Media and The
Birmingham Times.
"A singer/songwriter inspired by
Colbie Caillat and
Gavin DeGraw as well as
Alicia Keys comes forward with a sound reflecting urban styles for a new urban sensibility. A high energy charmer for kids comfortable with multi cultural streets, this set rests easily in the gulf between pop and soul that's going to have to make the tastemakers come up with a new name for this kind of sound that addresses unity rather than separation.
Hale rocks. "

"As a songwriter, her lyricism exudes with unyielding compassion that's uplifting and her warmth captures the intimacy of her life experiences is appropriate for any setting. Malynda has a winner with this album, her sound is rich and heartfelt lyrics are a perfect combo which makes this an attractive mix of music to listen too."
