TALII - POINTLESS NUMBERS
Talii’s brand new single ‘Pointless Numbers’ is a gorgeous track which displays the singer’s impeccable take on R&B and Neo-soul. It is also the first release off her highly anticipated forthcoming debut EP - out soon! “I wrote ‘Pointless Numbers’ during a particularly heavy depressive state I was in at the time. I hope it’s also a release for others. Something they can cry to… Something that gives their pain a voice when they struggle to find the right words. Something that helps other people feel less alone.”
