It has been six long years since we last covered TALII, the multi-talented singer-songwriter from Florida who had just dropped her seductive single, ‘Front Seat’. At the time, mainstream music was caught in an infatuation with island-tinged, Tropipop production—cue Justin Bieber’s ‘Purpose’ era or Taylor Swift’s slight sonic pivot on her monumental 2012 release ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’. EDM had taken the industry by storm, dominating charts and soundscapes alike.
Fast forward to now: The soundscape has shifted. So has TALII.
Under new management and with renewed clarity, the promising Alternative R&B artist reemerges with ‘Do Whatever’—a lighthearted yet intentional record that embodies freedom and feminine ease. It’s airy and unbothered, built on vibes, confidence, and fluidity, like a woman twirling through life on her own terms. If ‘Front Seat’ was her flirtation with sensuality and control, ‘Do Whatever’ is the empowered exhale—the reminder that liberation can sound like a sweet melody and a carefree beat.
Three years ago, she released ‘Pointless Numbers’, a tender offering for anyone who’s ever felt alone in a crowd—or worse, in their own phone. The track quietly resonated with listeners experiencing emotional turbulence, where hundreds of contacts couldn’t fill a void. It was more than a song; it was a digital embrace. TALII paired it with a real phone number and message that welcomed fans into her world—her tribe. The “TALII Tribe”, to be exact. It was a smart, grassroots way to connect before Instagram Channels were a thing, giving fans a sense of intimacy, direct updates, and community.
Now, TALII seems more sure of herself than ever—radiating an artist’s grace, backed by experience and intention. ‘Do Whatever’ doesn’t beg for attention. It just deserves it.
And we’re here for all of it.
Editor’s Note (May 30, 2025, 4:50 PM SAST): TALII used to spell her name with all caps. According to new management, the stylings or the spelling of her name has appeared as “Talii” lately. Therefore, when addressing the artist from this day forward, kindly make a note.
We thank you in advance.
