At 19, most artists are still writing about the thrill of falling. Mulaa Joans is already documenting what happens when it falls apart. “Love Letter” opens with a hypnotic piano motif that feels deliberate, almost patient. There’s no rush to impress.

Mulaa Joans releases Phone Sex, a vulnerable new single exploring desire and emotional strain, marking the first step toward her upcoming third EP.Mulaa Joans releases Phone Sex, a vulnerable new single exploring desire and emotional strain, marking the first step toward her upcoming third EP.
