New partnership celebrates vinyl’s comeback with an exclusive Crosley discount and a mutual dedication to keeping the craft of mindful listening alive
ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, July 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Certain albums are meant for streaming queues. Others are meant to be savored.
From the very first writing sessions for Retro In Real Time, Grammy-nominated producer, artist and songwriter Mali Wilson envisioned a record that would encourage audiences to pause, immerse themselves in the music and journey through it from start to finish. Built on live instrumentation, classic songcraft and modern production, the project honors the albums that shaped past eras while staying firmly grounded in today.
Today, Wilson revealed a partnership with Crosley Radio to align with the vinyl launch of her debut album, Retro In Real Time. The alliance unites two entities that share a dedication to craftsmanship, genuine musical experiences and vinyl’s lasting charm.
For over a hundred years, Crosley has introduced audiences to the vinyl experience through carefully designed turntables that merge vintage aesthetics with contemporary technology. Wilson’s album mirrors that approach musically by paying homage to the traditions of soul, jazz, blues and classic R&B while presenting them through a modern viewpoint.
“From the beginning, we weren’t chasing nostalgia,” said Wilson. “We wanted to make a record that people would want to come back to years from now. When the conversation turned to vinyl, partnering with Crosley felt completely natural because they understand that listening to music is still an experience.”
Customers who buy the vinyl edition of Retro In Real Time on MaliWilson.com will get an exclusive promotional code usable toward the purchase of a Crosley record player.
“The best partnerships aren’t manufactured,” said Eric D. Wilson, Chief Operating Officer of The Retnuh Agency, the firm representing Mali Wilson. “They’re discovered. When we looked at what Retro In Real Time represents and what Crosley has meant to generations of music lovers, the connection was obvious. This isn’t simply about releasing a vinyl record. It’s about reminding people that some experiences are still worth slowing down for.”
The Retro In Real Time vinyl is available now at MaliWilson.com.
Every vinyl purchase also aids musicians in need while helping to uphold the mission of award-winning StoneWood Studios, where artists continue to find a creative space to write, record, collaborate and grow.
