Tallsaint debuts with the prickly warehouse pop of "I'm A Woman (After All)"
Nobody likes a mansplainer. Thankfully newcomer Tallsaint is debuting with a lithe, sarcastic retort pretty much all of us have needed in the past.
"I’m a woman after all, so tell me what I'm feeling," she coos over hypnotic warehouse pop, it's an elastic, spring-loaded feel reminiscent of other similarly artful dance-inspired projects such as Little Dragon. There's an acerbic edge to her lyricism that taps into a feeling that will be familiar to so many. It's a warning: don't talk down to me, I can play this game too.
"'I'm A Woman' is my little diamond beast in the rough, born out of true collaboration with my co-production partner in crime Josh," Tallsaint explains. "It's basically a dance track. I've never worked with those sorts of textures and sounds before, and Josh really pushed me into exploring new sonic realms just by handing me over this file crammed with 909 drums and 90s sounding synths."
"I had a poem that I’d been working on around the same time that became the lyrics. Mainly written for a cathartic release, it started out about being fed up of people second-guessing me, not just in music and situations related, but also in domestic environments. If I looked a certain way, perhaps sans make-up, I was getting confused when people would assume the way I was feeling."
