Cal-bred, Nashville-based dark pop artist Talia Stewart has shared the murderous video for her dark-pop banger, “This Killing Floor,” to announce a mini-EP, ‘Murder, She Wrote’. Even though we heard this song dozens of times we still can’t find the right words to describe its charm. Talia Stewart’s voice is a piece of art, she has one of the best pop voices we’ve ever heard, and her vocal performance in this song is more than professional which how talented she is. The music video is outstanding and will give you a unique experience while listening to Talia Stewart’s charming vocals. The melodies are dark and beautiful, and the lyrics are original and well written. The production of this song is polished and the dark atmosphere is so catchy. We hope you love this banger as much as we do!
WHAT THE ARTIST SAYS ABOUT THIS SONG:
Discussing the single, Talia states, “‘This Killing Floor’ references a song from Howlin’ Wolf (and later on Led Zeppelin). It is angry and bitter, but also unapologetic and ruthless. It’s about ending a relationship in the bloodiest, goriest way (legit by murder) and not giving a single fuck about it. I remember the day I began writing this song I was so angry my skin felt hot to the touch. I wanted to write a revenge track that was simultaneously a hype-up for myself. I needed to harness my inner Rihanna energy. I remember when Rihanna came out with “Bitch Betta Have My Money” I thought… ‘I have to write a song like this one day’. ‘This Killing Floor’ is my attempt.”
Regarding the video, Talia adds, “Like the song, this video plays on the theme of a relationship ending with the added layer of setting it inside a murder. More specifically though, the video represents my transition as an artist. Me figuratively killing myself represents the transition from my last album cycle, ‘Confessional’, to the current, ‘Murder, She Wrote’. I even wear the same white dress I wore in the visuals for ‘Confessional’, to nail home that theme.”
