"Took what we had and I blew it up," rising pop artist Malia Civetz sings as the first lyrics to "Little Victories," the second track she's released to the world. Malia takes this track about repairing an emotionally damaged relationship, characterized by a lack of trust and a plea for forgiveness, to remind listeners that sometimes the the little things are what really matter in the grand scheme of things. You take what you can get and you go from there.
It's worth clarifying that this isn't one of the typical tracks with a careless but catchy chorus that you would normally expect from someone trying to inch their way into the pop music stratosphere. Malia crafted this track carefully, paying close attention to the lyrics and delivering them with immense passion and honesty. In terms of production, all of the right beats drop at exactly the right time. "Little Victories" is far from over-produced as well as from carelessly made.
It's rare that we see a track of this quality coming from an artist just getting their feet on the ground. Malia's vocal talent, as well as her abilities as a songwriter, foreshadows a promising future for her career going forward.

About The Curator - Larisha Paul
Larisha Paul is a journalism student at New York University with a beat in music, which is entirely fitting considering the way she lives life.
She’s the friend who always sends new music recommendations to the group chat saying, “This reminded me of you” or “This sounds like something you would like.” She’s the type of person who is constantly being talked out of impulsively buying concert tickets–but does it anyway, and the person who is always in charge of providing the perfect playlist for long drives, or for just hanging out.
She’ll talk to anyone about music for as long as they’ll let her, but please don’t ask her to narrow down her favorite anything (songs, albums, artists, bands) because she’d rather not have an actual breakdown.
