    Yesterday, French-Korean songwriter and record producer Spill Tab released her vibrant and palatable debut album ‘Angie’, which we thoroughly enjoyed for its experimental, creative edge. Aside from being influenced by various musical styles like R&B, Electro-Pop, Rock, and Jazz, she does an incredible job at execution. Not to mention, she sings in French on ‘Assis’. The opening record ‘Pink Lemonade’ is my favourite from the bunch, followed by ‘Athlete’.

    Raised by a French Algerian composer father and a Korean pianist mother, Spill Tab spent her early years immersed in music at her parents’ post-production studio, absorbing Jazz, Classical, and other diverse influences. Following a childhood spent between Los Angeles, Thailand, and Paris, where she picked up guitar and soaked in a variety of musical traditions, she developed a distinctive sound blending raw-edged guitar confessionals with anthemic Pop hooks. 

    About her first album, Spill Tab tells Hanuman Welch, “I think I’ve always had this goal where I’m trying to represent myself the fullest of my ability in a two-minute song, and I think I’ve been realising through the process of EPs that that’s not possible. I do feel like this album, as much as I possibly could, represents not only where I’m from, but where I want to go and the music that I’m listening to now, the music that I’ve been listening to for the past 10 years.”

    About the album, she continues, “Those conversations, musically, are what make me the most excited about musicmaking. So to me, this album is that conversation in action, but also shows my evolution with that music and production, and being able to work with all these incredible collaborators has just made me a better artist.”

  • Watch Spill Tab’s trippy visual for love anthem ‘Angie’

    She’s got it bad for Angie.

    A month ago, Spill Tab, a young Los Angeles-based French-Korean singer-songwriter and producer (real name Claire Chica), released the official video to her song, ‘Angie’. In a rumbling bedroom, chandeliers shake, and a hamburger falls from her nightstand. Conflicted, she claims to hate Angie and quickly dispels those thoughts in the same lyric.

    “I hate you, I don’t, don’t, don’t/Angie, she’s on my mind”

    Watch the video below to see how she crashes out in the name of love. If you’re in New York City and you like her music, Spill Tab will perform at Baby’s All Right at 9:30 PM EST on June 11.

    ‘Angie’ is a single from Spill Tab’s twelve-track debut album after releasing a few extended plays, the last of which propelled her onto Sabrina Carpenter’s 2023 tour. The album ‘Angie’ releases on May 16 through Because Music.
