The new single, “Material Girl” from rising singer-songwriter, Mariah. is out now.

“Material Girl” is available on all streaming platforms now via the iBryton Music/Veracity Music Group/SONY label imprint.

“Material Girl“ was written by Mariah D. Hester and produced by Tony Nicholas. “Material Girl” is written from the viewpoint of a woman at a crossroads. Should she remain in a relationship that caters to the material and superficial while neglecting what is truly important?

In the process of finding herself again, she outlines what is missing: Loyalty. Time. Love. Patience. Teamwork. The things that money cannot buy,” mentions Mariah. “I refused to let my voice be muffled by gifts or material things. Flowers, bags, and clothes can’t fill cracks and holes created by words and actions. Once I realized this, I found my strength. I found myself again,” she adds.

“Material Girl“ Already playing in these markets: Buffalo, NY; Toledo, OH; Little Rock, AR; Austin, TX; Washington, DC; Augusta, GA; Oklahoma City, OK; Atlantic City, NJ; Atlanta, GA; Columbus, GA; Music Choice R&B Soul; SiriusXM Heart & Soul.

Mariah. has been singing since the age of 5. The Church Choir, talent shows, school plays, and Mom’s rigid vocal coaching were the bedrock of Mariah’s initial training. Born Mariah Dawn’e Hester in Shreveport, LA, she is an “old soul” and animal lover with a flare for the arts- to include public speaking, painting, pottery, and dance.

Strong in her faith in God, this NICU Nurse and proud member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Incorporated continued to sing and perform while pursuing her degree and serving in multiple roles. She’s also a prolific songwriter, as demonstrated in her initial release, “Material Girl.” Mariah. is signed to Veracity Music Group based out of Cleveland, Ohio.

“Never settle for less than because He created you for more…” Mariah.
