There’s something about a rich, resonant female voice that suckers me in every time. So it’s understandable that “The Jungle Talks,” the latest single from Taylor Payne has gotten underneath my skin.
The Sunshine Coast singer’s voice is the perfect foil to the moody syncopated drums that drive this song along. A smattering of synths gives the track a retro 80s vibe.
“The Jungle Talks” is officially released on September 9.
If you like Florence and the Machine, you’re going to love the Sunshine Coast’s own Taylor Payne.
With her debut single “Outsider,” this Queensland musician shows a similar knack for blending dark, moody lyrics with driving drum beats and toe-tapping melodies. Her voice also seems to have no limitations, twisting and turning up to those falsetto notes and back down again with ease.
Apparently Taylor’s set to play some local venues in 2016, so look out for those.
