taali by Taali
Building off of her recent Grammy nomination, Taali returns with a stunning 13-track set that draws immediate comparisons to like-minded folk/pop heroes Regina Spektor, Beck and Sufjan Stevens. Written, produced and performed by Taali between NY, LA, Amsterdam and Sfinari, "taali." is a deeply resonant exploration of friendship, love, loss and ultimately triumph.
