TALA is back with a vulnerable offering that dives into the tangled mess of belief, disappointment, and yearning in her new single, ‘Invocation’.
‘Invocation’ is a stripped yet emotionally charged track that captures the Manila-based artist’s raw reflections on faith, religious guilt, and the cyclical nature of heartbreak. Originally titled ‘prayer room’, the song walks the tightrope between sacred longing and personal reckoning.
“This track feels like talking to something — or someone — you keep returning to, even though they keep letting you down,” TALA shares. Whether interpreted as a broken relationship or a crisis of faith, the ambiguity of the lyrics invites listeners to reflect on their own unspoken devotions.
Produced by Vintageboy, with lush instrumentation from Iggy Monetalibano on bass and Gabe Dandan on guitar, ‘Invocation’ weaves TALA’s signature blend of dreamy soundscapes and heartfelt storytelling. It’s intimate, haunting, and deeply human.
Known for crafting music that feels like quiet confessions, TALA continues to grow a niche audience across Asia drawn to her honest lyricism and soft, melancholic voice.
