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.
Perdida
Malú Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sin avisar
Vivía bien
Era normal
Falta de fe
Celos quizá
No sabes bien
Que se fue marchitando
Su jardín de flores
Y no sabes bien
Que las tardes de invierno
Lo cuentan con sus colores
Dicen que se fue
Perdida otra vez
Perdida por amar
Vencida por la sed
Que sólo sacia el mar
Dicen que fue buscando
Y que logró encontrar
Un lugar donde ser
Espuma, viento y sal
Dicen de él
Que no es igual
Nunca volvió
A ser normal
Dicen que hoy
Volvió a pasar
Sin saludar
Mirando al mar
Y se pasa las tardes
Mirando las flores
Pero que no ve
Sólo deja que ellas
Le cuenten con sus colores
Dicen que se fue
Perdida otra vez
Perdida por amar
Vencida por la sed
Que sólo sacia el mar
Dicen que fue buscando
Y que logró encontrar
Y que hoy ella es
Espuma, viento y sal
In Malu's song "Perdida," the lyrics seem to be about someone who has lost themselves in love and has been unable to find their way back to a "normal" life. The first verse talks about how this person seemed to be living well and normally, but something happened to make them lose faith and possibly become jealous. The second verse implies that this person may have left to find something, and eventually found a place where they can be "foam, wind and salt" - a place where they can be free and unencumbered by the normal expectations of life. However, it seems that this person has become lost in their quest for love and freedom, and may never be able to return to a "normal" life.
The chorus repeats the idea of being lost again, lost due to love and overcome by an insatiable thirst - a thirst that can only be quenched by the ocean. It seems that this person has traded safety and stability for love and passion, and in doing so has become lost and unable to return to their former life. The final verse talks about how this person now spends their days watching the flowers and listening to their colors - a metaphor for being lost in thought and unable to fully engage with the world around them.
Overall, the song "Perdida" is a powerful and emotional exploration of the quest for love and freedom, and the consequences that can come when one becomes too lost in those pursuits.

Antes no, pero en sus últimos discos casi todas las ha compuesto ella sola y otras con artistas como Vanesa Martin. Ten en cuenta que empezó con 15 años y por casualidad, por lo que no sabía componer, pero gracias a amigos como Alejandro Sanz o David de María ella ha ido aprendiendo y ahora es una gran compositora y por su puesto, una gran cantante.
