AUSTIN, TX- Thala, the German singer-songwriter, has been making waves with her dreamy shoegaze pop music. With the release of her debut album “adolescence” in September 2021, Thala’s unique style has caught the attention of music lovers worldwide. The album explores themes of reflection and self-discovery, as Thala takes listeners on a journey of looking back at adolescence from a wiser perspective and searching for answers about the future in the past. Her singles, including “Curtain Call” and “You Had 2,” are just as powerful, featuring incisive lyrics and cinematic-sounding melodies that draw on early ’90s shoegaze, punk, and alternative pop.

Despite being a relative newcomer to the music scene, Thala’s raw and honest talent has been evident from the beginning. She began as a street musician in 2019, but it wasn’t long before her beautifully soft soundscapes and relatable lyrics caught the attention of passersby. Her music is not too retro, nor is it average indie; it is truly unique and stands out on its own.

I was fortunate enough to catch Thala’s set during a recent storm at a music venue, and I was blown away by her performance. Despite the lightning storm that forced all music at the venue to stop, Thala’s captivating sound managed to shine through. It is clear that her music is resonating with audiences and opening doors to major opportunities.

Thala’s upcoming EP, “In Theory Depression,” promises to be her most introspective work yet, with even more incisive lyrics and cinematic-sounding melodies. Drawing on influences from early ’90s shoegaze, punk, and alternative pop, Thala’s music continues to evolve and captivate listeners with its unique soundscapes and honest lyrics. It’s only a matter of time before Thala becomes a household name in the music industry.
