TAAHLIAH announces debut album, ‘Gramarye’, shares ‘2018’: Listen

Glasgow DJ and producer TAAHLIAH has announced her debut album, ‘Gramarye’, alongside the release of her new single, ‘2018’. Check out the video for the single below. 

Due for release on 18th September on untitled (recs) and available, TAAHLIAH’s forthcoming album takes its title from the Scottish word for ‘glamour’, specifically in the context of magic and the occult. The initial idea of ‘Gramarye’ was conceived while she was working with the London Contemporary Orchestra in 2023, and it promises to be her most collaborative work yet.

Co-written with long-time friend and collaborator Naafi while in Dundee, ‘2018’ also includes contributions from Dev Hynes and rising electro-pop musician Tsatsamis.

“The song is about that relationship you happen to experience when you’re 19 that leaves you bruised and battered for a disproportionate amount of time afterwards,” TAAHLIAH shared of the single. “The lyrics are so desperate and exposing. I needed a way to capture this very fervent but embryonic time in my life. It’s one of the oldest songs on my new record”.

‘2018’ follows the release of ‘Boys’ in June, her first release since ‘Fuck It’, her 2022 collaboration with Loraine James. 

Besides her own music, the Scottish DJ/producer—who was nominated for DJ Mag’s Best Breakthrough DJ in 2022—has remixed yunè pinku’s ‘Killing Bee’, and earlier this year, was featured on I. JORDAN’s debut album, ‘I AM JORDAN’.
