“Love Lies”, “High Hopes”, “Thank U, Next”. What do these three songs have in common, apart from being smash-hits we all know and love? They have the trailblazing songwriter Tayla Parx, who’s finally embarking on her solo musical journey with debut album We Need to Talk in common.
Parx has been around for years, but her star really started to rise last year, when four of the songs she co-wrote made it to the Billboard Hot 100. Over the years, she collaborated with more chart-topping artists than we can think of – including Fifth Harmony, Janelle Monáe, Christina Aguilera and her BFF Ariana Grande.
Working shoulder to shoulder with the biggest hit-makers in the world was a valuable learning lesson, but Tayla Parx is finally ready to become one of them. Her debut album “We Need to Talk” hit the shelves on April 5, and its title makes it clear that Parx doesn’t intend to play it safe.
“Right now, this album is kind of a paragraph on what’s been happening for the past year and a half in my own personal life… So there’s really this sense of discovery about a lot about what I feel like we need to talk about,” said Parx in an interview with Billboard.
