Wow! I knew Tal was a monster on bass when I heard her with Jeff Beck, but what a haunting voice and unique songwriting. Beautiful.

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.
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..

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 wanna be held but not beholden" - INSTANT thumbs up! lol
Musicians are the best thing on earth when you hear it. I can live today. Thank you
I love her voice.From prodigy bass player to star in her own right.
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.
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.👍👍

How novel, something unique and beautiful. The Billboard charts miss these qualities entirely.
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!
Thank you Tal for being you. I wish there were more like you on the planet. Love you! PEACE 😘🎸
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 love how they leave in the false start and all the banter. Makes it very real.

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.
Tal is an amazing musician, such a high level demonstrated here.
Great to enter a new age of singer, song writers. They combine word and instruments so much better. Something new and fresh. Tks, go Tal.....
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!
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!

Amazingly Unique. I know Joni Mitchell would appreciate it. Tal's an originalist, a prodigy with humility, there's no one quite like her. Her music reeches into your soul, evoking emotions to emerge previously unknown.
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.....
Here is REAL talent. This live performance/interview is just wonderful.
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.

Thanks Tal owen saves the day love that accent.
I don't know of another artist who started as such a super-musicky instrumentalist who can write such good, simple vocal melodies and make it sound so natural. Maybe Meshell Ndegeocello, but she had a foot in both camps from the start.
Damn, Tal, can't you do anything wrong? I follow you since your first videos, through Transformation, your contribution for several better known artists, your solo songs, your new album, and I say "bless you", for you kinda restore my somewhat lost faith in mankind. I was a bit afraid when you picked up the guitar and appeared surrounded by what seemed to me a group of Greenwich Village intelectuals, but I see now that you handled it perfectly and it seems to me you know exactly what you want and how to get there. I will try to help by buying your art and listening to it and showing it to my friends. Thank you for your music.

My favorite bassist ever since seeing her with Jeff Beck. Solo work is crazy Awsome. Every cut on the 2019 album I thoroughly enjoy.
Beautiful songwriting IMO. Tal and Esperanza should colaborate😉.
