American Artist MAL€K Releases New Single “Toast
to That,” a Genre-Bending Celebration of
Serendipitous Connection

Bio
West Coast artist MAL€K (born Kalin Curran) returns with “Toast to That,” a magnetic
lead single that weaves hip-hop, pop, and elements of country swing. Building on the
emotional depth of his previous work, the track leans into a narrative of unexpected
connection, capturing that surreal moment when a stranger becomes something more.
The track is a nod to fate, flirtation, and the cosmic odds of real chemistry, all set
against a cross-genre backdrop that reflects MAL€K’s boundary-pushing musical
instincts.
“It’s about that kind of unexpected connection that forms, and moves you so much that
you want to celebrate it, acknowledge it, or appreciate it in some way,” shared MAL€K.
In many ways, this single also serves as a toast to MAL€K’s artistry and technical
prowess, not only highlighting his skill as a writer and storyteller but also underscoring
his evolution into a fully self-sufficient artist. By overseeing every stage of the creative
process—from production and mixing to mastering—MAL€K crafts a distinctive sonic
landscape, defying genre conventions. “Toast to That” exemplifies his meticulous
craftsmanship, marrying narrative depth with innovative production to deliver a cohesive
and compelling work that cements his place as a contemporary artist.
“Years ago, I let someone work on my vocals and was not pleased with the results, so I
promised myself from that moment I would learn what I needed to, I promised myself
that no one else would touch my voice or sound, but me!” said MAL€K
“Toast to That” is the lead track from MAL€K’s third album, The Never Ending Story Part
III: The Rolling Stone, set to release on May 31st. This album delivers a cinematic sonic
punch, immersing listeners in a vivid, fictional chapter of MAL€K’s life—a restless
“rolling stone” with a bottle in one hand and a mic in the other, embodying a rockstar-
popstar hybrid caught between chaotic highs and haunting truths.
The record journeys through contrasting scenes: from whiskey and picklebacks to
serene countryside escapes; from backstage mayhem to the sting of front-page
heartbreaks; from electrifying live shows under neon lights to lost nights battling inner
demons disguised as dreams. Fans can look forward to one more album before this
Never Ending Story saga reaches its powerful conclusion.
“It picks up where I left off in The Never Ending Story Part II, so this is meant to be
played top to bottom, like a movie or story,” explained MAL€K.
