TAAHLIAH’s debut single, Brave, from her debut EP being released in May, is a formidable yet evocative first track, with its intricate production details complimented by Sophie Thornton’s beautiful vocals. Brave is both a nod to TAAHLIAH's own experience of coming to terms with her transness, and an ode to everyone else who’s struggling to keep pushing through: "We both know I’m trying to, trying to, be brave". As the only black trans artist ever to win two awards in the same year at the 2020 Scottish Alternative Music Awards, if you didn’t know TAAHLIAH before, consider this your introduction. Join METAL as we chat with her about making music while the world’s turned upside down, the excitement of releasing new music, and her thoughts on the state of the Scottish music scene.
