TALLOU Releases Intoxicating Alt. Pop Single ‘Marco Polo’

Toowoomba-based artist TALLOU is ready to enchant listeners once again with her latest single, ‘marco polo’, out now (July 23). Following the success of her moody debut earlier this year in the form of ‘i promise i love you’, TALLOU continues to showcase her talent as a singer-songwriter with a distinctive indie/ alt-pop sound.

TALLOU may be a fresh stage name, but Tiana Dennis found her footing in the music industry at a young age when she signed one of her original songs to Sony ATV for sync opportunities when she was just fourteen. Her journey led her to perform at renowned festivals like Caloundra Music Festival, Woodford Folk Festival, and Tamworth CMF. She also had the privilege of opening for acclaimed acts, including Sheppard and Taylor Henderson, as part of her Queensland Music Award-winning duo, Oh Harlow.

Now, she embraces a new path for her creativity, crafting a dreamy indie-pop sound that radiates like iridescent stars in the sky. With its floaty atmosphere and driving full-bodied basslines, TALLOU and her vocal delivery finds the perfect meeting point between melancholic tenderness and rich, hopeful energy. Becoming more vibrant after each verse as new layers are introduced, this dreamlike world is all absorbing.

‘marco polo’ stands as a testament to TALLOU’s perseverance and passion for creating meaningful music. Weaving her stories into a sparkling musical tapestry, ‘marco polo’ explores relationships and the heartbreak that can come with them. TALLOU explains:

“‘marco polo’ was inspired by a close friend and his constant journey of losing and finding himself through different relationships. We were at the gym one day debriefing about the latest heartbreak and he literally said “I feel like I’m playing Marco Polo with myself”. I thought it was great and immediately wrote it down in my notes app.”

Collaborating with talented brothers Jeremy Beamish (Jude York) and Ben Beamish (Sleepy Benjamin) in a writing session, the song effortlessly took shape. Jeremy took charge of the track’s production, infusing it with his deep understanding of the song’s evolution from writing to its shimmering synths and intoxicating alt-pop elements.
