1. María 'Malú' Lu… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least 3 singers named Malú or Malu.
1. María 'Malú' Lucía Sánchez (born 15 March, 1982) is a singer from Madrid, Spain. Malú was discovered at the age of 15 when she was singing at a family party. She began the recording of her first album Aprendiz in January 1998. Malú is the niece of the flamenco singer-songwriter Paco de Lucía.
2. Malu is a pop singer from Amsterdam, The Netherlands. There is no accent on the letter 'u', but scrobbles of her songs end up here due to Last.fm's infamous auto-correct. "Sensual vocals, soft synthesizers and danceable bass lines bring you into a summery state of mind (...) one moment in a fantasy, the next on the dance floor." Malu released her first brace of singles and the Rendez-vous EP on Excelsior Recordings in 2023.
3. MALU In her honest universe of pop melodies, soulful tunes and R&B sensations, MALU is singing her way out of her identity crisis, through stories of dreams, heartaches and insecurities. With her Corsican roots, she inherited her grand gestures and in a flirtation between organic elements, attitude and with her heart on her sleeve, she delivers her songs in a balance between contemporariness and nostalgia.
Behind the project is a showdown with her own perfectionism and expectations: ”I have always been busy living up to an idea of who I am supposed to be. Through music I become spontaneous. Here, I can flirt with my identity crisis, set my own boundaries, make fun of my own perfectionistic ego and sing myself to become who I want to be.”
When MALU was five years old, two movers coincidently came by her childhood home, in Denmark, with a piano, they were supposed to get rid of. She was immediately glued to it, and from there the train began rolling. The journey started as a classical pianist and led her to lead singer in a jazz trio, a disco band and a soul orchestra, with concerts around the country and the feeling of belonging on a stage from a very early age.

Que no me deja respirar, tanto y por dentro
Voy taciturna y sin pensar
Es el veneno que me das
Duele tenerte y no tenerte, duele
Tú habitas en mi mente y duele
Saber como hay que amarte por ser libre y por ser aire
Y duele, no somos los de antes, sabes
No controlo mis ganas, mójate conmigo el alma
Las fragancias, de la arabia son las redes que me atrapan
Y me duele, ay me duele
Aulilí li lila
Aulilí li lila, aulilí li lila
Aulila
Aulilí li lila
Aulilí li lila, aulilí li lila
Aulila
Y hoy te presentas pidiendo guerra y compasión
Pero para mí el calvario ya acabó
Me dices que rondas mi calle
Que siempre vas de borrachera
Que tú quieres volver conmigo
Que siempre alumbraras mis noches
Para que duermas conmigo
Duele tenerte y no tenerte, duele
Tú habitas en mi mente y duele
Saber como hay que amarte por ser libre y por ser aire
Tú eres tan tuyo y tan de nadie
Y duele, no somos los de antes, sabes
No controlo mis ganas, mójate conmigo el alma
Las fragancias, de la arabia son las redes que me atrapan
Y me duele, ay me duele
Aulilí li lila
Aulilí li lila, aulilí li lila
Aulila
Aulilí li lila
Aulilí li lila, aulilí li lila
Aulila
The lyrics to Malú's song "Aulili" are emotionally charged, expressing the pain and confusion that comes with loving someone who is both captivating and difficult to hold onto. The singer describes feeling this person inside of them like a thorn, making it difficult to breathe and causing inner turmoil. Despite the pain, the singer cannot help but be drawn to this person and their wild spirit, even though they are not entirely theirs. The singer acknowledges that things have changed between them but cannot control their own desire to be close to this person, whose intoxicating scent pulls them in like a trap.
The chorus of the song, with its repetitive "Aulilí li lila" refrain, adds to the sense of being caught up in something larger than oneself, like a cycle of pain and desire that cannot be broken. The second verse reveals that the person in question has returned, asking for forgiveness and offering promises of love and devotion. But even as the singer is tempted by these words and the warm familiarity of their presence, they know deep down that the pain of being with this person is too much to bear.
Overall, "Aulili" is a powerful and relatable song about the complexities of love and longing, and the way that difficult relationships can keep us trapped in patterns of desire and pain.
