Maylee Todd

Maloo

The L.A.-based artist, producer, and musician returns with Maloo, a concept album starring her self-created digital avatar Maloo. Described as a collection of “science fiction lullabies,” Todd wrote and recorded the album while learning virtual reality programming, and was inspired by the utopian possibilities of technology and digital world-building. The album immerses us in her digital utopia, the “Age of Energy” perceived from Maloo’s perspective, and brings to mind Janelle Monae’s early conceptual work. Across the album’s dream-like tracks, Todd and her avatar describe a world driven by empathy and mental health positivity.
