JORDANA TALSKY – “BITTER SWEET HEART”
A Spill Exclusive Video Premiere
On her latest album of originals, Neither of Either, vocalist-songwriter Jordana Talsky takes risks. Sonically and stylistically, she embraces varied influences, fusing pop, jazz and alternative elements into a hybrid “alt-pop-jazz” character all her own. The albumΒ combines acapella and full band tracks while seamlessly weaving between intricate support harmonies, vocal percussion and quirky textures to create an innovative sound, paired with uniquely direct and honest lyrics that offer a sometimes pointed view of human relationships. Bitter Sweet Heart, co-written with Justin Gray, is a heart song to an unsalvageable love. “It’s about trying to say goodbye when you still feel attached.”
Choreographed and performed by contemporary dancers Stephanie Tremblay and Merideth Plumb, directed by Gaelle Legrand, shot at Danceworks, Distillery District, Toronto.
Artist Quote
Regarding the song: “It’s about trying to say goodbye when you still feel attached.”Β Β
Regarding Neither of Either as a whole:Β “The album material, which is varied in its stylistic choices and exposing in its lyrics, was borne out of a feeling of needing to explore, branch out and release. It uncovers feelings and shares vulnerabilities while challenging the conceptions of the genres it simultaneouslyΒ embraces – jazz, pop and alternative – into something I can call my own.”
