    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.”
