Hear Tala Silva’s ‘feathery, alternative-bedroom-indie-pop-R&B’ sound

The Rundown | Chicago News

WBEZ’s sister station Vocalo takes music submissions from local artists – if the team likes the song, they play it on the radio. When musician Tala Silva sent in her song “Goddess,” Vocalo’s Nudia Hernandez put it in the rotation right away and invited Silva in for an interview.

In conversation at Vocalo, Silva described her sound as “very feathery, alternative-bedroom-indie-pop-R&B, I guess, to put it in short.”

In this episode of the Rundown podcast, we hear how Silva got into music, how she produces songs in her bedroom studio, and she tells us about her upcoming show in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood on Aug. 17.
