Areli Castro is an LA artist who performs as King Mala. Debuting in 2019 with the Gemini EP, this year has seen a string of singles that will hopefully be included on Castro’s first album (which hasn’t been announced yet). “Golden Retriever Boy” came out a week ago on Handwritten Records and follows the brilliant “Mercy” and “She Calls Me Daddy”. Check out her recent interview for Spin. If you like Avalon Lurks and Olivia Rodrigo you’ll definitely enjoy this artist too.
