about

In this self-produced EP, Tara Priya presents a darker, yet no less soulful, departure from her retro-soul days in LA. Primarily written & recorded with east London beatmaker Jimmy Logic in Dalston, 'Friends Like These' combines Tara Priya's jazz vocals with her signature biting, poetic lyrics and hip-hop grooves.

J Dilla fans will nod along to the 'moonshine' drums in 'One Foot Out' and jazz-hip-hop fusion loops in 'Friends Like These'. Pop/soul fans will dance along to 'Who That', an infectious sassy earworm written by Priya, Ragz Originale (Skepta, Krept & Konan) and Joe Garret (Zayn Mailk).

The evolution in 'Friends Like These' earned Tara praise from critics & radio, including Ministry of Sound, BBC 6 Music's Tom Robinson, Radio 2's Jamie Cullum, Amazing Radio, Simon Raymonde, EARMILK and Time Out London.

"Smoothly combining jazz, soul, and '90s hip-hop, with its head-bobbing production and infectious piano melody" -- HYPETRAK

“Sitting somewhere between classic soul, trip hop and the slumped productions of J Dilla, 'One Foot Out' is a contagious, potent statement of intent.” -- Robin Murray, CLASH
