Tallulah Rendall is both nationally and internationally recognised as a powerful songwriter, with millions of streams to her name and repeated plays across BBC radio shows. When you listen to songs like her latest ‘Shame’, there really is no denying that she’s a unique talent who draws on her polymathic roles in spiritual, physical and creative spaces to create something that taps into the very core of the human experience. Rather fittingly, this track is also destined for Rendall‘s forthcoming album, Only Human, which promises to be her most honest and vulnerable work yet.
Taking out focus back to the song at hand, ‘Shame’ takes all the expectations and presumptions that come with its title and transforms them into a profound message of empowerment. Hymnal tones collide with avant-garde pop textures resulting in a raw, tempestuous arrangement. It’s not a stretch to imagine that Rendall has drawn inspiration from the Devonshire coastline with its windswept beaches and lashing waves.
A prominent component of this track is undoubtedly Rendall’s powerful voice, which moves seamlessly with the song’s ebbs and flows. Her message is unmissable; that being “a reminder to know your worth and refuse to let others make you smaller.” She’s taken notes from her own experience of being undermined and diminished and it’s that authenticity that contributes to the gravitas of ‘Shame’.
By combining both two decades of creative experience and her fresh, honest perspective, Tallulah Rendall ascends beyond all expectations with this resilient new single.
