UK-born, U.S-raised singer-songwriter Taliwhoah is back with her new single, “Safe Space”, the better part of a year on from her last release, “Imposter Syndrome”.
Never shy of being vulnerable, Taliwhoah often lays it all out in her songwriting, but this new one’s more about giving that special someone in her life the tools they need to be vulnerable and open. Produced by Blakk Soul, it’s as delicate as anything she’s put out in the past, but the meaty bassline and fluttering drum patterns drive it forward with an almost nervous tension.
Revealing a bit more about the track and her headspace when she wrote it, Taliwhoah tells Complex: “The inspiration behind this song was definitely vulnerability. Sometimes, being open can feel so daunting and this is an ode to me acknowledging that and also wanting to be a safe space for my person to do that.”
To mark the track’s release, Tali has also recorded this studio performance of the track directed by Marco Gutierrez. Straightforward and to the point, it’s a pared-back visualiser that plays to the track’s tenderness and keeps the focus squarely on her vocals.
Peep the visuals exclusively above and be sure to add “Safe Space” to your playlists.
