mokina shares joyous new bop 'talia'
Montreal-born mokina radiates joy with her gorgeous new single ‘taila’
Radiant and playful, talia is a charming tribute to the delightful weirdness of true friendship. Written as a dedication to her friend of the same name, the track is a bouncing dose of indie-pop that blends shimmering synths flawlessly with bright guitar riffs.
Sharing more, the real talia explained: "This song has become the happy backdrop to my life, buoying me unexpectedly in quiet moments. I met mokina at a time when I was seeking some stability after years of living and working in unfamiliar places, but I inadvertently found a slough of new challenges that I navigated as well as I could. This song casts a generous glow over these times that were not always easy or graceful for me. I think the song can be a reminder that it’s important to be generous with ourselves when we reflect back on our learning curves."
Written with Jacopo Martini and produced with Jeremy Lachance near mokina’s home in Ferrel, Portugal, ‘talia’ is the follow up to recent EP release ‘mirage’ which arrived at the start of May.
The five track display of gentle, dreamy, indie-folk arrived with three previously unheard tracks; title track mirage, ‘heartbreaker’ and ‘dont wait por mim’. See below for the full tracklist:

Heartbreaker
Dont wait por him
The record saw mokina dive into the complexities, illusions and delusions that often surround romantic connections. It sees them pull from her experiences of wxmanhood, pushing back against the constant critique and scrutiny wxman have come to accept as the norm.
The release of ‘mirage’ was warmly received by tastemakers including Colors x Studio, The Line of Best Fit, Ones To Watch and tmrw magazine who described her sound as having ‘shimmering vocals and blissful melodies’.
With an impressive catalogue of beautifully diverse music already out in the wild, mokina has built a recognisable sound that boasts sweet, sunkissed melodies and poetic lyricism. With moments of collaboration expanding her sound, she built an impressive catalog of releases over the last few years.
Pulling from a melting pot of influences including Faye Webster, boygenius, Kate Bollinger, TOLEDO and Alice Phoebe Lou, mokina’s sound is destined to soundtrack your highs and carry you through your lows.
The reveal of today's new single adds a delightful new string to mokina’s bow and their unique ability to blend diverse musical influences into a cohesive, emotionally charged work.
Keep all eyes on mokina!
