A real composer, a true musician, not like all that shit on the music charts. We must support this kind of artists. Thank you for your amazing music, Tal.
Can't say I love these songs, but totally respect her bass playing which is unbelievable. Glad that real musicians are still getting together to make real music. Seeing what's "popular" these days is just too depressing.
I love good music but the problem is airplay and distribution. This sort of music got zero air play. Yeah they pushed it a bit in 2019 with this album. Me personally, I'd listen to it like hell back in 2019 but did not realize this album until Beck died. And after listening to Jeff with Tal Live recordings I started to see her solo stuff. In short, its really hard to get exposure now. Record companies push the crap they want and real music is left out. Nobody buys physical media and artists make pennies on streaming services. We may never get another album from Tal. But I hope I'm wrong.
At age 50 I am approaching a phase in life where I catch myself not liking a lot of new music but this stuff is awesome! Been watching Tal's work for a while: this is opening a whole new world for her and her fans !!!
You can also tell that she was raised properly. She’s down to earth and not full of herself. Not in any of the interviews, I've listened to? She has doesn't have that whole Rock Star fake personality. Let's hope she stays this way.
I am old and broken, once was young and flew... As she shares her songs, I remember what i once knew. along the shore, birds sing as they fly broken love in her voice and now I know why.
I am captivated by her voice.. Love the way she sings.. Loved her bass playing the first time I saw her with Beck.. I never knew she sang until today. And as she surrounds herself with quality musicians too..Wonderful.. And she carries herself with class and fun..
Tal is an accomplished composer and songwriter, on top of her world class bass playing. She's somewhere in another unheard paradise right now, but once more people wakes up to her music, the world is a better place. For the love of music.
Tal Wilkenfeld is an incredible musician. My gosh, capoing the electric bass and playing it like a guitar without playing like a guitarist! True dopeness!!! She can groove too, just amazing.
I LOVE ACTUAL music artistry - with LIVE musicians who can ACTUALLY PLAY instruments - and write THEIR OWN songs. It's getting rare more and more . . . Wow this is good.
I’ve heard Tal lots of time playing with Jeff Beck and thought she was a great bass player. This is the first time I’ve heard her sing, wow! What a great voice.👍👍
She's darn good. First time I saw her she was playing with Jeff Beck. Her joy k ocked me away. Surprised to see that Harmony bass, haven't seen one since playing one 1965, 1966, until could afford Gibson.
I'm going to be 55 this year and I love when I find absolute astonishing music and musicians who bring something new to the table, I first saw her playing with Jeff Beck,new fan forever ♥️thanks RU-vid for helping me find her music
Shades of Alanis Morissette in Tals voice and in those chord changes on "Killing Me". The tempo, the chord changes, the lyrics, like intricate little brush strokes with the longing lilt in her voice and, maybe most of all, that rather unique softly jarring and at the same time soothing acoustic guitar intro which continues throughout the song on "Pieces of Me" all astound me. All those elements weaving together are like a picture being painted before my ears that I see coming to life in my minds eye. I'm simply amazed by this piece. Simply amazed! Wow!
EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT!! At the end of the first number I almost stood up and applauded, but She Who Must Be Obeyed has enough suspicions about my sanity!
That’s our life. Lots of banter. Lots of equipment foibles. The public usually only sees the edited versions of everything. There’s so much going on behind the scenes.
I knew of Tal Wilkenfeld as a great bassist (with Jeff Beck), and I was bit taken aback when I heard she had branched out into “singer-songwriting”. “Stick to bass!” I thought. Turns out she’s a also brilliant lyricist, a good singer, and a refreshingly different sort of of songwriter in general. I would not have predicted this. Very nice!
When I first listened to this album, it was very fresh to my ears. As a bass player myself and a appreciator of music in general, I can often predict where a song is going especially popular music and it bores me to death when you know what is coming. I’m still listening to this album and all the lush textures make my ears perk up. Not to say these songs are missing a hook, but they beg for another listen just to make sure I didn’t miss anything. I love this album and I want more.
She is just growing and getting better and better, and it is amazing to witness that. An amazing all around musician with a golden voice, and of course mad bass skillz.
Goosebumps! As a musician, it brings me to the place and reason why I originally was attracted by music, not to be conditioned by dogmas or rules, just free to explore, to go musically wherever you want. I will definitely listen to this artist again. There is a real true profound thing coming across, thank you for this beautiful inspiration.
Bass Clef TalkBass and #music is best, thank you kindly Tal Wilkenfeld and others in Manhattan. 1st song has a magnetic impression with blended resonating force. #Calson Associates circa 1920 🐬
Tal is literally the first musician of which I've considered purchasing music in decades. Reminds me of Aimee Mann. I specifically love her bass skills and her song writing.
This is absolutely extraordinary. These songs are beautiful, sweet, exquisite. Her voice is dazzling. Her talent and good taste to play the bass does not stop surprising us. The passage at 15:28 gave me goosebumps.
Brilliant! I mean, I knew Tal was very talented when I saw her play bass with Jeff Beck, but this is so much more than I expected! Great songwriter, beautiful singer! She is the real deal!
Wow. Every year that passes since I first saw this gifted young musician is like getting a surprise gift in the mail. Aside from her other talents, I listen to her apparent natural born gift of playing the bass guitar. I think her bass playing is what sort of got her through the door into her very large musical World. Maybe.....
Wonderful. Awesome restraint on the bass parts, well orchestrated songs, and unique melodies. Would have been so easy for her to put out a fusion shred fest, she went a different way that won’t be for everyone. Love it!
Ultra restrained bass. She plays what the song needs and doesn't show herself as a maniacal nimble fingered speed demon. Which I'm certain she is capable of.
I know what you mean...The song is kind of a one off wonder..Really good stuff but i had to let it sink in and then really listened to it..Good stuff...
Good to hear again natural, original and fresh music with more soul than wanting to show. Doesn't sound like social network music, you tubers or algorithms of what would be pleasent to audience to hear. Thank you for treat us as persons. Tal & band. 🙏🏼
I love her story of having a studio environment that allows for first impressions of her songs to be drawn out. It IS a magical place for creativity in music.
The first song gave me a nineties grunge feeling. Like Alice in chains and nirvana grew up and became more refined and matured. Why is this not mainstream Music! Amazing set of all musicians.
All three songs have such an aching quality to them. Great arrangements and band, plus to since to see someone with mad chops not just showing off but using skills to support the song.
The industry sucks. These true talents are not given the spotlight enough. I hate modern music and the industry. Love you Tal. Keep being true and honest with your gift. The world needs you. Artists like yourself and Madison Cunningham are appreciated. ❤❤
@@twasbrilligandthesli she sings with a certain souls on his own. I like her way with not too much teaching and develope, I mean I prefer if she not sings like others
Hey, that''s some great sounding live performance. Sonics are superb. Tal's a gem of great worth. So glad she's putting her talent to her song craft. I't's really fine stuff, layered, dense to etherial. Bravo.
Tal..... u r so....... beautiful musician and artist! .... if u know it urself . U r like ..... sunshine of the present narrow creating music industry. ..... U light up and rescue our music .... today. So bad if I say this way.... u r getting BIGGER...... than so many past and current musicians..... u r our NEW-Classical Wave. ... love u all of my heart. ...... 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Bill, that stupid fiuck. Kept with the interrupting.I had to see her without a digression to Bill hashing/rehashing his hit. She was generous by extending the concept of "artistry" to what comedians' do. Next level stuff right here.
The second one.. difficult to explain, but I can feel a long time lost poetry in the music, something recalling the best "progressive" music of the seventies.. She is growing as a full-featured musician with time, not only the extraordinary bass player we already knew
Absolutely LOVE her and so happy she's started doing her own thing - and I'm glad I LOVE it! I also love the way she stops before Haunted Love and fixes her delay despite the live audience lol!
Really great presentation. Way inspiring and love how you all come together on these pieces. Didn't know Tal sang... Great surprise and can't wait to hear the entire album. Very contemplative and beautifully done. Oh - nice cabin guys! Beautiful studio. from Utah.
That was absolutely lovely, what a great voice you've developed! Those strings add so much atmosphere! Having said that, I could listen to you playing that Sadowsky all day, what a great sound!
Wow this is some of the most original sounding music I’ve heard in a long time. I will buy all of her music. She played with Jeff Beck. Amazing bass player and songwriter. Hope to see her live some day.
