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.
VERTIGO
Malú Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Piel es de pantera, y ando en esta encrucijada, devorando
Madrugadas traicioneras
Hace tiempo que te fuiste y no me llamas, tanto tiempo
Que ya no me importas nada, mi amor, porque he roto mis
Cadenas, y ahora bailo las mareas bajo el sol, sola
Sobre un alambre, yo siempre seguiré mi dirección, mientras
Mantenga el equilibrio
Vértigo, silencio, ruido y vértigo, libre, cruzaré el
Abismo si aún me queda un alma en este corazón, hoy
Siento frío y vértigo, no quiero detener el tiempo
Quiero ver quien soy, amor, amor, amor, amor
Cada noche me desvelan las caricias que al rozarse con
Mi piel están vacías, y de nuevo en la estacada
Desmaquillaré mi cara de tristeza
He luchado tantas veces contra fieras que sentía que
Mi vida era una guerra, pero hoy gano la batalla por
Mis lágrimas calladas, porque yo
Aunque el mundo se pare, yo siempre seguiré mi dirección
Golpe a golpe, mientras mantenga el equilibrio
Vértigo
Mientras mantenga el equilibrio, vértigo
The lyrics of Malú's song "Vertigo" are about a person who has gone through a lot of changes and struggles, but has come out stronger in the end. The first verse talks about how the person has been through so much that their skin feels like that of a panther, and they are currently in an uncertain place, devouring treacherous mornings. The second verse talks about how the person's loved one left a long time ago and no longer matters to them. They have broken their chains and now dance to the rhythm of the tides under the sun, all alone like a tightrope walker. However, they are determined to keep moving forward and maintain their balance.
The chorus talks about the person feeling both silence and noise, freedom and vertigo. They are willing to cross the abyss if it means saving their soul. Despite feeling cold and vertigo, they do not want to stop time and instead want to discover themselves. The third verse talks about how the person is haunted by the emptiness of past caresses that are now gone. However, they are determined to wipe the sadness off their face and continue to fight. The final repetition of the word "vertigo" emphasizes the dichotomy of feeling both free and dizzy in face of life's challenges.
