Interview
To begin with, let’s review your recent work. What is the Inspiration behind this Psychological $uicide?
“Psychological $uicide” was inspired by my personal struggles with mental health, feeling overwhelmed and suicidal caused by internal turmoil and trauma that needed heeling . I wanted to capture the emotional intensity of that experience.
What is the inspiration behind the lyrics?
It means I am doing what I love both making music, being creative and helping people.
This is quite a huge project for you, what does it mean to you as an individual?
Crafting this song was therapeutic, allowing me to confront and process my emotions. It helped me find solace in vulnerability and I hope to now support others through dark times.
Could you describe how this release is different from your previous work and where this one belongs in the sequence of your career?
Burnout faced more of a challenge in regards to pushing people away, where as this is more the act of saying your okay when your not.
What do you wish people to get from Psychological $uicide?
The title represents the silent, internal battles many face. It acknowledges the painful struggle to find solace amidst chaos. For me, it symbolises intentional dissociation as a way to cope with suicidal thoughts instead of physically ending life my I mentally ended my life.
Is there a particular song other than this one, you are keen on that seems to communicate your message best and why?
Other song with a message is burnout and about pushing your loved ones away when your suffering mental health.
What are some of the difficulties you encountered and some of the highlights in “Psychological $uicide” making process?
In the studio, I aimed to create an immersive, visceral experience. I experimented with distorted guitars, haunting melodies, and introspective lyrics to convey raw emotion. I wanted heavy, haunting, scratchy dark- like everything inside my head.
The only difficulty is finding the right producers to help me showcase what’s in my head into reality.
How do you see this project fitting in with the present stage of your life both as an individual and an artist?
This song fitted in perfectly with a completely unique authentic Tahani vibe.
Since you released a “Psychological $uicide”, what has the reaction of the fans been?
People either love “Psychological $uicide” or they hate! My fans of course love it as it’s completely me.
How can your fans reach you and your music whether through the internet or in person?
I am on TikTok @tahani_music so can be reached there.
What’s next for you after this release? Are there any new projects or surprises that are coming soon?
Next, I’m exploring themes of hope and healing. My upcoming project hopes to be less intensive more fun. Every I write is from experience so whatever comes next it will have shaped my life previously.
How do you cope with the responsibilities of being an artist while trying to have a personal life?
I am quite a low key private person and haven’t hugely showcased me music other than social media. I am not trying to noticed or famous I am just having fun and hoping my music can help others with their mental health.
What is one thing that your fans do not know about you but would want to reveal?
One thing they may know is that I am married – I have a wife Mickey and we’ve been together 5 years.
Would you like to add any concluding thoughts to your fans or new listeners hearing about you for the first time?
I am completely authentic and fearless in my creativity. I now prioritise vulnerability, mental health and supporting others through turmoil. I only write about real experiences.
In Summary
This has been an exciting session for us all Tahani, I believe fans and anyone out there just discovering your music for the first time are equally excited about this project. Thank you for the privilege to experience this masterpiece, its been an honor.
Here is my thought on what i have to say after listening to “Psychological $uicide”:
I specially loved the vocal delivery in this song, it felt authentic and remained steadfast even when the instrumentation became more lively and pulsing. The vocal never lost its touch even amidst chaos. The instrumentation also did it for me, the transformation from a much more laid-back delivery into a vibrant lively mix had me in a chokehold. This song effortlessly calls for repeated listens, making it a musical gem in the music world.
Finally to our audience, I urge to listen to “Psychological $uicide”, add it to your playlist and be Inspired by it and on behalf of Dulaxi I like to appreciate you all by saying thank you everyone, See you on our next interview.
