TALLSAINT WHO ARE YOU?
Tallsaint @iamtallsaint.
WHAT DO YOU DO?
I’m an alt-pop songstress. I enjoy embracing electronic sounds whilst lyrically balancing how to be vulnerable but also dictating a feeling of how to find strength in your own shortcomings, and everyone else’s. I also really like to bathe in my favourite artists day-to-day who never fail to provide me with everlasting inspiration; Empress Of, St Vincent, Grimes, Ariana Grande, Tei Shi, Spice Girls, Wild Beasts, Beyoncé. At this exact moment, I’m having a really nice time revisiting True by Solange
which was co-written by one of my favourite songwriters ever, Dev Hynes.
WHY DO YOU DO IT?
I like exploring moods, I like exploring tiny facets of all kinds of relationships, and I like picking at things. I also don’t know how or if, I would be able to deal with not communicating all the words & melodies & colours that recoil throughout my head week to week. The handsome part of my growing skills surrounding being a songwriter and a producer of sounds is that I can better communicate these explorations via the use of glamorous textures and layers. 12
Then, if a listener wants to absorb my meanings and considerations in a different way according to them that’s beautiful to me, the song is yours once it’s out.
