That same steely resolve in St. Laurent\u2019s words can be found on <i>Gramarye<\/i>, an album that marks TAAHLIAH\u2019s reinvention from DJ to pop artist and songwriter capturing the bruising effects of love.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Those that know TAAHLIAH primarily as a DJ, a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5oeqJdb9RQA&amp;t=1275s&amp;pp=ygUUVEFBSExJQUggYm9pbGVyIHJvb20%3D\">Boiler Room<\/a> regular who has previously shared bills with A.G.

A collaboration with the London Contemporary Orchestra in early 2023 pushed her to think of music in new ways while she\u2019s also cited FKA twigs and Zola Jesus, as well as a stint opening for Ethel Cain on tour, as shaping her new direction. These are artists who distend their feelings until the sheer heft of experience begins to feel overwhelming.\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-265450\" class=\"content_block paragraph embed triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\">\n    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"TAAHLIAH - Cherish (Official Visualiser)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SpRe2kxWZ6o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-265451\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>\n            TAAHLIAH finds that same resonance on a trio of ballads written and recorded with the help of Dev Hynes. On \u201cCherish,\u201d a heartbreakingly frank reappraisal of a past relationship, she admits to not knowing how to view what has been lost: \u201cIt was hard to understand how I felt \/ Because something that I cherished was disposable to someone else.\u201d It\u2019s sung between blizzards of drums that mirror the same discursive feeling. \u201cAngel,\u201d meanwhile, further underlines TAAHLIAH\u2019s status as an outlier in a cold landscape. \u201cThe world is hard but I\u2019m soft like an angel,\u201d she writes, a line delivered with a tender exhale.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            The word \u201cgramarye\u201d has roots in the Scottish word for \u201cglamor.\u201d While there is certainly magic and romance in TAAHLIAH\u2019s music, conceptually <i>Gramarye<\/i> is more about moving away from those surface level feelings and uncovering what is buried in the marrow. The album ends on an uplifting note as bagpipes, another nod to her Scottish heritage, usher in \u201cHolding On\/ Let Me Go.\u201d Slowly, with lap steel guitars trembling in the background, London-based musician Tsatsamis sings about finding strength and persevering. It echoes the \u201cnothing can push me aside\u201d sentiment laid out by St. Clair at the start, and shows that, by utilizing the voices of her collaborators, TAALIAH has taken a big stride in establishing her own.\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">David Renshaw<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
