SALYA’s voice becomes the comfort we didn’t know we needed in her latest single ‘TALK’. Described by SALYA herself as ‘a love letter to introverts’, the up-and-coming Indie-Alternative Pop singer perfectly captures the introvert experience in a spotlight-driven world.


SALYA makes it clear that she ‘doesn’t want to talk right now’, but she doesn’t have to, this single says everything we need to hear. Building up from subdued restraint, the track rises to a raw, emotional release, embodying the feeling of social burnout. 



‘TALK’ starts out with SALYA’s almost melancholic vocals layered against a juxtaposing, hopeful sounding base coming from the jangly guitar which instantly dichotomises the song through lyrics that symbolise exhaustion and dreamy Indie-Pop textures. A dichotomy that is reminiscent of MARINA during her Electra Heart era. As the track unfolds, SALYA’s vocals meet the mood of the guitar and soft percussion, as she gains confidence in her discontent. Finally, the song culminates into a burst of feminine catharsis, dissolving the tension of pretend palatability before mellowing back out into a moment of relief.
