Empress Era
One of Tāmaki Makaurau's most celebrated electronic vocalists returns. With Empress Era, Tali drops a seven-track journey through neo-soul soaked drum & bass, UK-G and jazz driven electronica and with stops from Jordyn With A Y, UK legend Stamina MC and Nathan Haines along the way you can expect to catch a vibe right from the first drop. - Flying Out
Renowned for her storytelling, vocal prowess, and genre-defying production, Tali returns with her most evocative and expansive body of work to date: Empress Era.
This album marks a powerful new chapter for Tali — a reflection on transformation, resilience, and evolution. Across seven tracks, Empress Era moves like a rite of passage: confronting uncertainty, surrendering to change, and reclaiming power in a world that feels both chaotic and full of potential.
On this record, Tali’s production weaves cinematic layers with her familiar DnB breaks and touches of neo-soul. Moments featuring live flute, saxophone, guitar, bass, strings, and drums bring warmth and raw energy, blurring the lines between electronic and organic.
Vocal collaborations include Aotearoa singer-songwriter Jordyn With A Y, whose voice blends beautifully with Tali’s on the summery and uplifting “Young Daylight” (featuring live flute from Geo Seato). UK DnB legend Stamina MC also lends his unmistakable edge to “Amongst Kings And Queens.”
