"Talia" on YouTube |
"Talia" is a single recorded by American singer-songwriter King Princess. It was released on April 13, 2018, by Zelig Recordings [2] as the second single from her debut extended play Make My Bed. [3] The song has been described by MTV as "a quintessential song about heartbreak, as the singer calls out to someone long gone and out of reach". [4] King Princess has said that Talia was her way of dealing with heartbreak. [5] [6] [7]
The music video was released over a month after the initial release of the song and as of January 2022, it had amassed over 9.7 million views. The video was directed by Clare Gillen. [8] The video features King Princess rolling around and caressing a sex doll. The video has been described as: "an emotional stand-in as King Princess gnaws and smokes her way through losing someone special." [4] Amandla Stenberg who worked on the video as a colorist has said: "[the doll is] kind of ironic, self-aware idea of a sex doll, something that's generally discarded and abused by men. But you get to see a gay girl treating it with love and respect." [9]
"Talia" was featured in the film Mainstream (2020) starring Andrew Garfield and Maya Hawke.
Credits adapted from Tidal. [10]
