Today, lovely local singer/songwriter Talitha Tan has released a beautiful lyric video for her single titled “Okay”. You might recognise the song from one of Darren Ashley’s previous Monday Juice tracks. The lyrics are the by-product of Talitha’s songwriter talents, with the bass lent by her colleague Herman Ramanado while the song itself was produced and mixed by Darren Ashley himself.
The way the lyrics tend to be incorporated into the background is a very nice touch. The song itself is a beautiful showcase of Talitha’s soothing vocals and is worth a listen on that account alone.
“I found the lyrics rather important, and a lot of people has been asking for it! It was written in a boy/girl perspective, typical love song perspective because it was easier to write it in that way, but i wrote the song based on everybody in general, how people come and go, people whom you think are “real” end up being acquaintances that end up leaving? And you’re just left wondering, what happened? what did i do wrong? I’m sure everybody can relate to that yeah? BUT yes, it hurts, and sometimes we pretend that it doesn’t or the one hurting us pretends not to know or care, but “I’ll be, Okay”. Why a lyric Music Video? I wanted a written story, on a story. Irfan Nadzree, the director of the video, did and amazing job directing, for making it happen! For having to put up with my pickiness. Nadiah Hamzah, from wayang works made this happen for me, so big ups to her for making sure everything will be “Okay” The entire crew did a great job”
“The video showed how I started off sad, and not really doing much? and how i went into the changing room coming out looking a little more bolder? Irfan’s vision to show the story of a symbolic journey of the girl having to stay in a toxic relationship with someone, and finally decides to wake up and stand up for herself, looking back knowing she’ll be okay without him. You know, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger?”
“I’m currently working on a EP with Bo Amir, he’ll be my producer for the EP. Wouldn’t say too near of a future, but hopefully soon! Maybe end of this year or early next year if everything goes well! Stay tuned to my social media for more updates. I also plan on posting more stuff on YouTube though, not only just music, but things i do! Like, parkour, rock climbing, gym, lifestyle, etc. If it works out.” said Talitha.
