Honest lyrics and classic pop arrangements of keys, bass and beats carve out a uniquely disco-kissed sound, as Australian artist Tia-Brittany delivers her new album Don’t Talk Feelings (DTF).
Lead by its title-track, Don’t Talk Feelings highlights a softly unique vocal style from Tia-Brittany, and pairs timeless pop structure and design with deeply honest reflections, often through long-form, almost rap-like verses, for a sound that’s upbeat but also angsty and even gritty at its conceptual peak.
Promising a fully-realised artistic vision, with imagery and scenes to accompany each classic pop track from the project, Don’t Talk Feelings is refreshingly modest and focused on story and style. The project is eclectic but grounded by similar basslines and the subtle nuance of Tia-Brittany’s voice.
There’s also the lyrical outpouring of each song, almost diary-like but relatable, blending personal anecdote and vague references to ultimately connect in an intimate, confident, and satisfying way.
It’s an organic pop style, enjoyable for its fluidity and pace, recognisable for the nostalgic pop traits scattered throughout each of ten original songs about modern life, love, and romance.
