Nashville-born, London-based one to watch Talon David spent her childhood developing a unique musical vocabulary that now informs her equally unique songwriting. On a mission to help her audience as a positive force in their lives, the artist has released an array of singles since her debut in 2020.
Most recently, Talon shares ‘Anomaly’, a track that speaks to the joy of being alive and getting to do what you love. Written during the pandemic, it contrasts the general sentiment of the time with a flourishing and bright outlook that Talon delivers within her soaring vocal melodies. The positive pop sensibilities jump through grooving instrumentation and glowing harmonies.
Talon shares, “I’ve wanted a song titled Anomaly for a while. It’s one of those musical words I’d written down in my Notes app forever ago, and one day I decided to whip it out and see what would come of it. On this particular day I happened to be feeling good, and there was absolutely no reason for it (it was raining, COVID, midweek) except that I was alive and doing what I love. Social media was blowing up with all manner of complaint and general life disappointment, but I felt…good. I decided to explore the essence of that feeling: the euphoria that comes when things start to go right, especially when it seems to be in opposition to the world around you.
Music-wise I wanted it to be jumpy, perky, like if an LSD trip happened without taking LSD. Strange, out-of-place, slightly retro, but not unpleasant. The keyboard riff was the main strain with sparkling accents from the guitar, background vocals provided the psychedelic color, the sliding bass was the relative instability of the verses that turned into the certainty of the chorus.”
