Real Talk With Simply Brown

The Right Ingredient—Featured Artist: Talia Coles

When presented with the task of writing a feature for my site on super-talented celebrity Talia Coles, I immediately became very excited; she was the whisper in the background of certain high-profile events and the topic of discussion in various online celebrity music forum chatrooms.

Heads or tails, like flipping a coin: Most celebrities give you one image and truly are indeed another, but, at first glance, Talia Coles more than epitomizes everything you would expect from her, plus a little more.

Talia Coles has all the right ingredients, perfectly seasoned, mixed, baked, and served. A woman most certainly destined for nothing short of greatness, posed and ready to become one of 2010′s new “It” girls.
The task seemed a little difficult at first and also a little overwhelming, wanting the right feature that would quench the curiosity of a new fan but to still keep the article short and to the point so I don’t lose the attention of my reader or the message I want to convey.

My college professor’s words playing over and over like a broken record in the open black silence of my mind: “Keep it simple,” his voice would say.

Keeping it simple, I said to myself, I most certainly intend to do. Slip on your headphones; take a simple listen to the rhythmic sounds, any questions anyone has, her music will more than answer.

Her main following stems from her first single, “This Little Thing,” from her upcoming album, Clothes Minded, from her music-based content company, Couture Music, for which multifaceted Talia Coles is both founder and co-president. A song that made everyone in the clubs move, I’m talking about hands in the air, heads bobbing to the beats, ladies twisting and turning every which way—everyone, even the ones who usually never dance, were on their feet.

I must say, Talia delivers songs with such diamond-light precision, giving you everything you’d expect from a seasoned veteran, not from a newcomer, many would say, but check your history because this newcomer isn’t really new at all.

Graduating from New York’s iconic LaGuardia High School of Music and the Performing Arts, Talia immersed herself in voice, dance, and theater. Later following a path that allowed her to lend her talents to artists such as LL Cool J, Musiq Soulchild, Teddy Riley, Slim from 112, Tyler Perry, Deborah Cox, Case, Coko, as well as Irv Gotti.
Hold on!

Excuse me, folks.

I need to take this call.

The musical melody of my cell phone breaking me free of my writing trance, immediately after the phone conversation, I walk over to my laptop queuing the song loaded into my media player. “I’m Nikki Wine,” the words say, “wind it for you,” the song more relaxing than a light rain on a warm summer day, and I know others will follow, sharing my vision when “Nikki Wine” by Talia Coles featuring Elephant Man debuts on radios in early March.

With all the right ingredients, you simply just cannot fail. Talia Coles has more than proven just that.
