California-based producer, DJ, singer/songwriter, and yoga teacher mölly unveils her highly anticipated debut album ‘22’, out now on Colorize.
For mölly, music has always been a way of making sense of the human experience. Drawing from years of yoga, meditation and self-inquiry, she approaches her production as a process of exploration, allowing emotion, intuition and lived experience to guide the work.
Having only begun releasing music in July 2024, her ascent has been remarkable, building a global audience drawn to the emotional honesty and human depth at the heart of her work. She has now amassed more than 25 million Spotify streams, including over 5 million for her breakthrough debut single ‘Here Again’ and a further 5 million across her debut EP ‘Rushing In’.
Support has followed from some of electronic music’s most respected names, including Martin Garrix, Armin van Buuren, Nora En Pure, Above & Beyond, Tritonal and Sultan + Shepard, and , while more than 1,000 spins on SiriusXM Chill have helped introduce her music to listeners worldwide. Along the way, she has shared stages with Lane 8, Kaskade, Tiësto, Christian Löffler and Mees Salomé, performing across North America, Europe and Asia at events including Dreamstate, We Belong Here Miami, Elsewhere New York and Amsterdam Dance Event.
Despite the momentum surrounding her rise, ‘22’ came from a much more intimate place. The number 22 began appearing around the same time mölly started imagining the album, and she came to see it as a sign that she was exactly where she needed to be. What started as an album about unity, love, peace and connection became a year-long confrontation with the beliefs that kept her from fully embodying them.
“Looking back, 22 feels less like an album I made and more like a journey I was asked to take,” says mölly. “It challenged so many of the stories I held about myself, about my worth, about love and about what it means to be an artist. I spent so much of the album feeling like I needed to become more in order to deserve my place as an artist. The real lesson was realizing I didn’t.”
That process can be heard across the album’s eleven tracks. Expanding beyond the conventions of melodic house, 22 incorporates mixed-meter time signatures, vast atmospheres and intricate arrangements that feel inventive yet familiar.
Collaborations with Mees Salomé, OCULA, Afnan Prince, MØØNE, Richard Walters, and many more, sit within a body of work that also contains some of mölly’s most personal solo productions to date. The album also marks the first time mölly brings her own vocals into her work, a vulnerable step that challenged long held insecurities and ultimately deepened her connection to the music.
The release also arrives alongside a new live chapter for mölly, with her intimate Joshua Tree DJ set now live on YouTube as of Thursday 20th August. Filmed against the landscape that has become synonymous with the project’s sense of space and connection, the set offers a further window into the world of 22 bringing its sound into a live setting.
From the opening of “drops of oil” to the final pull of “calling me,” 22 captures the cycle that defined its making: doubt, surrender, return — reflecting the nonlinear nature of growth itself.
As mölly continues an expanding international touring schedule throughout 2026, with appearances across London, Vancouver, Los Angeles, New York, Seattle and Toronto, 22 moves from a deeply personal journey into something shared.
