Malibu is a French electronic musician whose work sails between ambient and ethereal. Forever inspired by soft reverbed vocals and melodic chord progressions, Malibu’s sound is immersive, like a sea of synthetic strings and choirs. Every month she tackles the same ideas in her radio show United In Flames, with the help of various guests. “One Life” is Malibu’s first EP and most matured work, released in November 2019 on both Joyful Noise Recordings and UNO NYC. ‘It might just be, as it was for Barwick, the most beautiful music you’ve ever heard. The gorgeousness of it is almost overwhelming‘ – Pitchfork ‘On the startling title track, cellist Oliver Coates meets Malibu’s floating drones with heart-wrenching cinematic strings and the result is as magical and mysterious as any fairytale. This one’s for the crybabies.’ – FACT ‘In just five tracks and 28 minutes, Malibu has delivered the best ambient record of 2019.’ – Discogs One Life was one of the best albums of 2019 according to Pitchfork, FACT, Discogs & Gorilla vs Bear. source: https://earth-agency.com/artist/malibu/
Technically an EP but anyway, it is great. One Life is the best track and I would also recommend the Evian Christ mix. I hope some more electronic albums will appear in the user album list.
Hey this is an ep :( It's really nice though :) 4

Música electrónica. Relajante. Un 4, venga.
Could have listened to a full album's worth of this. Very relaxing. Good to work to.
Very relaxing

I too have listened to Eno’s music for Airports
I’ve been listening to a lot of ambient music lately. I’m finding that it works as an effective salve to treat the soul crushing and unrelenting barrage of bullshit that constitutes life in America in 2025. It’s a warm and enveloping escape from reality - an audio narcotic, if you will. I enjoyed this EP quite a bit. It washed over and temporarily quieted my racing mind on yet another Monday that’s come too soon.
Not really my thing, but it's all right. 3 stars.
Pretty
Lovely lush ambient electronica.
That is surely some ambient. I actually liked this kind of thing, I'm just not sure it belongs in precisely the same category as music. I would listen to more though.
It’s fine, well constructed and executed but just too ambient and wandering in its short runtime to generate any interest.
This is what I listened to in 1995 when I was playing Myst. It’s pretty, but I didn’t think it needed an album in this century.
This made me wonder if this album is what it’s like when you pass out from heroin and have that moment of bliss like in Trainspotting. Of course, I can’t relate to that and found this album to be soothing noise and not much of an album I enjoyed. 3.0/10
I'm usually a sucker for this kind of stuff, but this just felt so empty and meaningless and weightless. Also, I thought user albums had to have a Wikipedia page attached to them? There are so many albums I love and would have submitted without Wikis.
