The soft feeling that “Cool Girl” by Ashlynn Malia provides tickles your neurons and activates your musical goosebumps. Malia’s newest single is very reminiscent of SZA’s brand of music, thanks to her effortlessly cool vibe, emotionally lyrical rawness, and gentle singing style. “Cool Girl” is almost like SZA’s “Normal Girl” younger sister, they both have a sense of longing to be desired by the person they yearn for. No matter how much they change themselves or how hard they try to conform, they still will not be accepted or seen in the way they want to be seen. The lyrics are heartbreaking but relatable, and the melody effortlessly transports you into a calm, relaxed state where you can explore your vulnerability alongside Malia.
