The second single from Thala this year, ‘1st Of The Year’ is an awakening with a heady slice of realisation that everything’s not going to work out as planned – as perfectly illustrated in the cathartic video directed by Thala and Nils Ladewig. https://Thala.lnk.to/1stOTYID

“It’s a very introspective song, every word is what I felt at that moment, utterly heartbroken. I learned a lot at the beginning of this year; I learned I was capable of loving and hurting because of it.”

Moving away from the “sweet indie rock” of last year’s critically-acclaimed EPs ‘In Theory Depression’ and ‘twotwentytwo’, ‘1st Of The Year’ is an outpouring of emotion, which reveals a darker side to her music after the uplifting parable of ‘don’t want u to die’.

The brittle tension of ‘1st Of The Year’ comes to a head in explosive fashion midway through, that release and its perfectly honed euphoric break confirming Thala’s status as an incisive modern singer songwriter, one whose skill is to expose her most private emotions in a wonderfully tactile way.
