Tazzy 'My Turn'

Produced by Lord Byron B., SoftServeBoy, Ozhora Miyagi, Lejon Lewin LetsGoHayes and Mors; ‘My Turn’ is an in-depth showcase of Tazzy’s ability to amplify her stunning vocal on top of melodic and growing lush production. This EP is reminiscent of a break-out body of work, both subtle and powerful with multiple messages connecting an audience to the artist. Often you will find yourself in a bed of empowerment that quickly turns to vulnerability and the transition can leave you speechless. The EP opens with a velvet glazed opening number ‘Feel The Same’ speaking of the track Tazzy explains:

"My Turn opens up with a twinkling synth, and a rumbling bassline which makes for the perfect after-dark track. This song sells seduction and toxic love."

A common theme, weaving throughout ‘My Turn’ is vulnerability, expression, and a sense of mystery within Tazzy’s piercing vocal. That theme is no different as the EP moves onto ‘Vybe’ which has been released as her recent single and stamped Tazzy as a woman with a big future. ‘Vybe’ flows seamlessly into a brand new taste of Pop Punk with the third track of the EP ‘Down’ which is a ball of pissed-off energy questioning an experience and taking you on a vulnerable journey into her aggressive centre.

‘My Turn’ takes a shift with Tazzy’s dynamic fourth track ‘Feeling My Pain’. In her words:

"I wanted to create a unique and moving atmosphere to jump around and let loose to release the pain and frustration of life. Feeling My Pain is a straight-up attitude-filled banger"

The fifth track is an epic. It is the perfect flow on from ‘Feeling My Pain’ and really dives into that seduction and toxicity that often we find ourselves in at some point in our lives in all its form. ‘The Devil’ takes you on a ride. Tazzy’s vocals burst through every boundary and will leave you mesmerized. This track really is a culmination of all of her emotions and the production hits just right. Ironically this track is the last of the emotional ones and almost like Tazzy is rid of her frustration and angst as she bursts into her feature track of the ep ‘Touch’.

‘Touch’ is the crescendo of the EP and drives home the fact Tazzy is now a force to be reckoned with. Well and truly putting her on the map within Australia. This track is a tip of the hat in the world of Pop/RnB and is an absolute anthem. In her own words Tazzy explains:

"I really wanted Touch to give my audience something to just dance the emotions away too and be as empowered and confident as they want to be. The EP was such a journey to make and at the end of it, I just wanted to close those emotions and open a new chapter with a big loud anthemic dance track. Touch is my way of moving forward and showing my versatility. I am so excited to share this with everyone and cannot be more excited for the journey to come!"

‘My Turn’ is a truly incredible body of work by an incredible artist who is nowhere close to touching the surface. Dive into the world of Tazzy, where you will laugh, cry, punch a wall, and fall in love with yourself all at once.
