Thala: "I remember speaking to a lot of my friends and they all told me about their relationship statuses and/or how heart broken they were, how wronged they were, how hurt they've been and it made me so angry. so angry that I canalized all of that anger and wrote the perfect revenge song - including my own experiences in the process I kept remembering how many times I was told '' don't know what the hell you're talking about'' - after a long conversation with them and basically having to hear over and over again how wrong I was to feel certain things, how wrong I was to just assume a certain attachment from the other side - even though all the signs were there and obvious as day - they were denied. I felt do confused and I know a lot of other people do too... and I wanted to talk about it."

New single, ‘drive song’, sees Thala on a personal trip as it slides into a somnambulant plea set against vintage Cure-like chiming guitars. Released alongside a brand new music video, shot in Los Angeles and directed by Thala and Jack Campise – it’s the perfect setting for bringing this song’s character to life.
“drive song is a song where a character falls in love with someone without even knowing who they are, kind of ''blinded by the pretty shiny light'' one could say, to then fall into a deep hole of depression as their toxic energy sucks all the good away and makes them question their life choices whilst still missing that relationship.” Thala

Sfven - tongue-tied & starry-eyed (Official Video)Thala2024-08-27 | The third single from Thala’s this year, ‘tongue-tied & starry-eyed’ is a timeless homage to the ups and downs of mercurial partnerships as captured in Harry Strange’s video for the track, featuring Thala’s museful verses, set-off by the bittersweet harmonies of the mysterious Sfven: thala.lnk.to/TTSEID
“I sat down with Sfven and we talked about friendship and how people come and go out of our lives and it’s supposed to be that way. Everything sorts itself out and sometimes it’s important to move on and to let go of the ones that don't do us good anymore.”
A long way from the “sweet indie rock” of last year’s critically-acclaimed EPs, ‘tongue-tied & starry-eyed’ is an uplifting paean to the staying power of long term, never faltering friendship – the kind of relationship that is resumed with easy wonderment.
A transient soul, originally drawn to the cerebral emotion of shimmering early 90s shoegaze, she traversed the indie rock wasteland and has created a widescreen cinematic sound; off-kilter pop music that blossoms; think Soccer Mommy with King Krule on chorus duties; an emotional union set to pluck the heartstrings, with a harmony rush that makes the perfect happy ever after ending.

“It’s a very introspective song, every word is what I felt at that moment, utterly heartbroken. I learned a lot at the beginning of this year; I learned I was capable of loving and hurting because of it.”
Moving away from the “sweet indie rock” of last year’s critically-acclaimed EPs ‘In Theory Depression’ and ‘twotwentytwo’, ‘1st Of The Year’ is an outpouring of emotion, which reveals a darker side to her music after the uplifting parable of ‘don’t want u to die’.
The brittle tension of ‘1st Of The Year’ comes to a head in explosive fashion midway through, that release and its perfectly honed euphoric break confirming Thala’s status as an incisive modern singer songwriter, one whose skill is to expose her most private emotions in a wonderfully tactile way.

#thalamusic #1stoftheyear #dontwantutodieThala - dont want u to die (Official Video)Thala2024-07-03 | Direction & Edit: Vincent Janssen DOP & Colour grading: Rahul Balu Varghese Produced under: Vincent Janssen Productions
Thala follows last year’s critically-acclaimed EPs ‘In Theory Depression’ and ‘twotwentytwo’ with a new single, ‘don’t want u to die’, an uplifting parable filled with modern-day melancholy, it’s a cathartic cut of pop that surges with dramatic heft and executed with pinpoint precision. Listen: thala.lnk.to/dwutd
“It’s reminiscent of a very dark place I once used to gravitate towards and I think a lot of people can relate to that,” she explains, “You just submerge yourself in all sorts of vices so you don’t have to see or feel your own pain until it eventually becomes a coping mechanism in itself. When I wrote the song I realised that it had turned into an anthem for anyone who needs to hear that they’re great; that they’re loved and never truly alone, as cheesy as it sounds.”
Thala moves away from the “sweet indie rock” of her earlier work to something that’s much more perceptive and understanding. As ‘twotwentytwo’ revisited painful chapters of her life, ‘don’t want u to die’ begins a more mature dialogue, the perfect introduction to her imminent new album set for release later this year with its engaging worldview and a procession of beautifully written songs.

Ferris Wheel' is as an ode to my older, future self. Reminiscent of the life I will have lived, the accomplishments, the things I've done, the people I loved, the ones I lost, and the other way around. I wanted to shoot the video on a Ferris Wheel as it felt like life going full circle. Looking back and accepting everything that happened, not regretting a thing because it all made sense in the end. Realizing that the world is always in motion, no matter what we do.

Lyrics: We’re in the corridor And you’re leaning against the wall But we don’t talk anymore Cause we talked through it all The night before
Come to think of it You could still make me cry The way you stood at the top of that staircase and Told me I lied
I wish winter was a person I could hate So I don’t have to become The monsters of my past every time you ask And every time it gets cold Your feet are even colder Cause we don’t talk anymore Since that night in October
Looking down at me I’m so scared that it’s over Go to my grandmas house And lie on her sofa
Just a little bit longer If I don’t move too fast Maybe I can go back And fix it all at last
I wish winter was a person I could hate So I don’t have to become The monsters of my past every time you ask And every time it gets cold Your feet get even colder Cause we don’t talk anymore Since that night in October
We don’t talk anymore We don’t talk anymore We don’t talk anymore We don’t talk anymore

Lyrics Moonlight Shadows Creep up on me at night Through the seasons We break even our lives
More to stand by Roughly said - goodbye But ships have sailed by no more reason to try
But in my mind I take you to places where the night sky keeps you warm And in your head let these be the memories we've made to keep you from harm
Mine to keep now Lonliness inside Can't fight the feeling Can't believe that we're high Melancholia being inside But ships have sailed by And no more reason to try
But in my mind I take you to places where the night sky keeps you warm And in your head let these be the memories we've made to keep you from harm
Keep you from harm Keep you from harm
