Tallulah Argue Is Writing Her Own Kind of Country Story

I sat down with the talented 23-year-old London-based, Toronto-born, alt-pop artist Tallulah Argue - who should be on your radar by now. Her country twang throughout heartfelt and inspiring lyrics makes her stand out from the crowd. Though she draws comparisons to artists like Sabrina Carpenter, her style is more soothing, soulful, and seductive. Instead of pop, her dreamy indie vibe makes it perfect to listen to while sunbathing, on a road trip, or studying.

Tallulah has just released ‘I Think I’m Gonna Love You Forever’, a track that showcases her soothing vocals layered over deep, atmospheric beats. The country-tinged vocals glide over each note with an easy warmth, making the song feel rich, immersive, and undeniably satisfying. Listen here.

On the new single, Tallulah Argue says "I Think I’m Gonna Love You Forever” is about being sat in my bedroom at 2 am, stripped bare of everything except my heart ache and the bittersweet notion that I may never get over them."

Tallulah describes her song-writing process: “I always prioritise the visual and cinematic outcome before the actual music itself.” Her music is self-described as ‘Country Sleaze’ - though she doesn’t want to be boxed in. Her musical interests span across genres, drawing inspiration from artists like Wednesday and Pinegrove, with a special shout-out to Lucinda Williams, whose influence can be heard throughout Tallulah’s sound.

Tallulah is a lover of the arts, especially theatre, with a shout out to the iconic Les Misérables, and her flair for theatrics seeps into her music. She’s been singing since the age of five, studying classical voice and performing in choirs.

Only in recent years has Tallulah begun to take her craft more seriously, finding a kind of therapeutic bliss in creating her own songs. “Country music is so inspiring for me because you can tell a story”, she says. For a glimpse into her storytelling, listen to ‘Roleplay’ here.

Finding her feet on the music scene was a “Spiritual awakening”, something clicked and she realised, “Oh my God, what the f*ck else would I do but make music?” Music now takes up real estate in her mind and is the most important thing for Tallulah.

A standout moment for the artist was performing at The Lexington. Once on stage, she realised she was home. “That was the most incredible feeling”. She reminisced. Her advice to others in the industry is humility. Rejection is “Character building” and necessary.

On repeat for Tallulah is Lil Wayne, who she hopes to collaborate with someday. “I’m having so much fun right now. I feel really connected to what I’m doing and I’m so excited to keep going and see what happens next”.

Expect more music, more songwriting, and more live performances. Watch this space and check out Tallulah Argue on socials here.
