With two astonishingly-brilliant EPs already under her belt (The Duchess & Alchemy), 25 year-old TALA seems to be heading in the right direction for success. Having been signed to Aesop (and counting the likes of Sylas, Wayward and SOHN as label-mates), TALA’s releases have been seen to be nothing short of astounding since we first laid ears on The Duchess‘ title-track back in May.
Featuring soaring beats that are fast-becoming TALA’s signature, her songs seem to border along the lines of epicness, whilst her creativity also seems to be placing a firm two-fingers up at generic female pop-stars. With that in mind, TALA’s output is a million-miles from pop – think more alternative-electronica and you may be getting warmer (with some obvious comparisons to SOHN, or, being gender-specific, FKA Twigs). Meanwhile, both EPs have shown consistency throughout (you won’t find any project-fillers on either of the collections), and her Iranian heritage certainly shows influences in her musical styles. From a visual standpoint, there’s also some obvious creative influences from FKA Twigs in TALA’s videos, all of which seem to showcase flair and panache and full-on vibrancy.
With both The Duchess & Alchemy setting the wheels in motion, we’re certain 2015 is set to be an exciting time for the young artist.
