Mag Dalé brings healing to the world with “From A to O”
Mag Dalé’s single “From A to O” is a song for a hectic time, in which, at its depths, we are all still beautifully human. Crammed into the space of two intense, emotional days, “From A to O” was written following a harrowing incident of personal grief, when Dalé’s family lost a friend to suicide. It is a love letter to the grieving, a song for the silent warriors fighting mental battles, and a reminder that from the deepest places, something penetratingly close to the heart can grow.
Mag Dalé channels raw vulnerability into an intimate yet powerful sound, writing lyrics that feel like they are whispering directly to your soul. The song is weighed down by loss, but it doesn’t remain there. It sails in a graceful turn through grief and hope. “From A to O” shares the promise of that emotional transformation, of an extended journey from agony to openness, from absence to offering. “From A to O” was the winner of the Intercontinental Music Award 2023 in the Singer-Songwriter category, and she received the title “Best of Pangea,” referring to her universal music that connects the ancient continents. It speaks to the emotional honesty and global connection of the song.
What makes “From A to O” so impactful is the candid earnestness behind every word and note. Mag Dalé takes us to a place of common humanity, where music serves as a bridge between pain and comfort. Whether you are going through your own losses or helping someone else through theirs, “From A to O” reads like a hand in the dark. With this release, Mag Dalé builds a sanctuary. And in doing that, she reminds us that what’s often most potent about art is that you’re not alone.
