Driving distorted guitars? Powerful hooks? A message of empowerment? Check, check, check. Guitarist Malina Moye lays it all out on her new EP, Bad As I Wanna Be, our exclusive premiere today. Releasing on May 23, this collection of six funkified tracks offers raucous, pop-infused rocker attitude with a bit of feminine flair. Moye has proven herself once again as an \u00fcber talented, electric guitar powerhouse.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was writing this record I kept coming back to a celebration of self. I had an experience that made me feel that I didn\u2019t matter and didn\u2019t count as a black female guitarist,\u201d Moye shares. \u201cSo I started writing.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the most powerful tools that comes from being an artist is your voice and having the platform to use it,\u201d she continues. \u201cYou can have all the talent in the world, but when you are inspired because of something that\u2019s happened to you, there\u2019s nothing more powerful as a songwriter. It\u2019s sad to think that being born a certain way could be the reason why you aren\u2019t looked at or judged fairly, in a certain light. So I decided right then and there that I am somebody, and I matter, and I count exactly the way I am. In other words I\u2019m \u2018enough\u2019 just like the track from this record. So I thought if that person could hear this album, he might feel where I\u2019m coming from and see a different perspective. And maybe in the future, he would add some colors to his life.\u201d<\/p>\n
