Today, Orlando-based artist Talii has released a brand new single titled “Good To Be Bad.” Listen to the track now here.
An arresting, dark pop/R&B track that delves unabashed into the world of female energy and sexuality, Talii told Billboard:
- “Being ‘bad’ doesn’t necessarily mean you’re up to no good, it also relates to that feeling of strong, sexy confidence us women love to feel. We all have hidden desires, fantasies, or kinks that we fear others may not accept about us and this song is the act of diving into that part of you and welcoming it without guilt or fear. The song also embodies the mystical wisdom, divine connection, and unhindered sexuality that female figures throughout history have been characterized with, yet modern society has largely stifled this raw form of feminine energy. All of us, especially women, are capable of tapping into that energy and I hope this song empowers people to do that.”
“Good To Be Bad” is the follow-up to Talii’s 2019 body-positive single, “Thickness,” which was added to Spotify’s ‘Fresh Finds: The Wave’ playlist and premiered on Wonderland, who described the track as “a sensual blend of pop, neo-soul and R&B, with sutle dancehall tinges.” The song has since been reworked into the “Thickness (Remix)” with a new feature by John Concepcion and debuted with Popdust as a “new twist” on the original track. Listen to the original song here + the remix here.
Talii kicked off a strong 2019 with single “Front Seat,” which pulled influence from her Trinidadian heritage with a meticulous blend of pop/R&B set against a rhythmic dancehall infusion. The track saw praise from outlets like Billboard, who described the track’s “percussion-driven production that pitter-patters like beach waves” while Affinity Magazine called the track “a powerful and bold song that allows the Orlando-based artist’s true colors to shine through.” Listen to the track here + watch the lyric video here.
Born into a family of diversely talented musicians and performers, Talii wasted no time exploring her musical path. She began singing at age 3 and started playing piano and writing songs by age 7.
Talii first made her artist debut in July 2018 with track “Lost,” which was produced by G.Bliz (Teyana Taylor, John K, Darion Ja’Von). Talii later followed with “Mouth,” an addictive track that puts a playful twist on Talii’s signature smooth R&B-meets-soul style.
Telling compelling stories rooted in authentic experiences and bolstered by her smooth and soulful vocal, Talii is a trailblazer in the neo-soul / R&B lane. With support growing on all fronts, including love from the artist community with Pink Sweat$ and John K both showing support, Talii is poised for a breakout year. Keep your eyes peeled for more to come as well as news on a debut EP, coming soon.
