Head Space, her debut EP, is a collection of songs written in the summer of 2011, as she developed her skills on the guitar and as a songwriter. The songs, inspired by the feelings for a special person, touch on love and relationships through unfamiliar eyes, and through their simple approach represent the starting point of a creative journey for a girl from Leicester. Head Space is a testament to Mahalia’s beautiful, distinctive voice and unpretentious lyricism; a series of songs that are authentic and emotional.

Oh yes, when I need the most
Jesus is with me
Oh Lord, when I need the most
When I go to my extreme
Follow my work and babe it seems
Then the Jesus steps
Oh when I need the most
Jesus is with me
Oh yeah, when I need the most
Jesus is with me
Oh yes, when I need the most
Lord when I go to my extreme
All of my work in vein it seems
Then my Jesus steps
Steps right in
Lord, when I need the most
When we're tired, seen more than I can bare
When I'm about to fall 'neath the weight of cast
Jesus will help me
when I need the most
When the need low and the money is gone
And when 'Im seen most hopeless
Then my Jesus steps, steps right on
Lord, when I need the most
Jesus is with me
Oh Lord, when I need the most
Jesus is with me
Oh Lord, when I need the most
Yes when I go to my extreme
Follow my work and babe it seems
Then the Jesus steps
Steps right in
Yeah when I need the most
Oh Jesus is with me
Oh Lord, when I need the most
Oh Jesus is with me
So glad, when I need the most
When I go to my extreme
Follow my work and babe it seems
Oh my Jesus steps
Steps right in
Yeah when I need most
