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.

Será porque el recuerdo
Nunca devuelve lo bueno del pasado
Si lo dio quien se ha marchado
Y no puede regresar
Si quien nos lo había dado
No lo puede ya dar más
Quizás por eso que ya no me alienta
Porque pensar que me la diste
Es pensar que la perdí
Aquel día en que te fuiste
Sin poderte despedir
Sin poderte despedir
De mí
Fui a nuestro último encuentro
Pero no te pude ver
Porque ya no estabas dentro
De aquel que allí encontré
No quise coger tu mano
Preferí recordarla
Como si aún pudieras darla
Con la fuerza del hermano
Que nunca faltará
Que nunca faltará
No vi luz en tu mirada
Quizá porque se apagó
O quizá era que brillaba
En otro sitio al que marchó
Quizás por eso que ya no me alienta
Tú fe en mí
Porque pensar que me la diste
Es pensar que la perdí
Aquel día en que te fuiste
Sin poderte despedir
Sin poderte despedir
De mí
Malú's song "Sin Poderte Despedir" talks about the pain and feelings associated with losing a loved one without being able to say goodbye. The first verse talks about the memories of the past that bring a smile but also a feeling of sadness because they cannot be relived. The memories cannot bring back the person who has gone away forever. The singer feels a sense of loss and is unable to see the good in things. They are unable to feel uplifted by the faith that their loved one had in them, because that faith feels like it is lost as well.
The second verse describes an attempted meeting with the lost loved one after they have already passed away. The singer is unable to see their loved one, as there is nothing left of them. They look at their own hand instead and decide to remember their loved one instead of trying to hold on to something that is gone. The final part of the song talks about the lack of the loved one's light in the singer's life. They feel like they have lost something very important, and no longer feel the support that their loved one gave them. The absence of their loved one is something that they can't seem to come to terms with.
Overall, this song is an emotional piece that seeks to capture the feelings of loss and grief that come with losing a close relative or friend. It expresses the sense of helplessness that we all experience when we are unable to say goodbye to someone we loved.
