Taylor B-W releases ‘BTW TBW’

Hailing from Sydney, Australia, Taylor B-W is an alternative pop artist making her own fiercely original music. The daughter of the legendary New Zealand singer Mark Williams, Taylor B-W has cemented her name as the modern day Queen of nostalgia, offering rhythmic and instantly memorable R&B style pop with authentic lyricism that tackles personal and relatable themes.

Leaning heavily on her 90s influences, she also looks to contemporary styles and artists such as BANKS, The Weeknd, Vera Blue, Sevdaliza, Björk, Billie Eilish, Halsey and Kimbra for inspiration. Performing both on her own acoustically or with her full band backing her, she’s graced stages around her home city with sell out shows at venues including Django Bar, The Vanguard and Street Market.

In 2018 she made her studio recording introduction with her debut single “Spark Off The New Year”, followed up by a string of well-received singles over the last few years that lay down her empowering sound full of grooving rhythms and her smooth, compelling vocal work.

Now she brings us her most ambitious release to date with her debut EP titled BTW TBW. Linking up with producer Liam Quinn, who’s previous credits include Rita Ora, Lime Cordiale and Peach PRC, she delivers six anthemic pop hits that showcase her talent as a songwriter as well as her vocal performance panache.

Commenting on the creation of the EP, she shares, “I’ve had to process so much over the past six years – life was really messy and unhinged for a while. Some of the songs on this EP I’ve held close to me for some time and it will be a relief to have this documentation released into the world so I can finally have some closure.”

On BTW TBW, Taylor B-W opens up about her own struggles in life and with her mental health, threading her vulnerabilities into her writing, wrapped up in an infectiously catchy modern pop sound. “My mental health has plagued me since I was young and being able to open up about it through my music has unleashed a whole level of freedom I never thought I’d be able to reach – it is empowering. Thankfully, the topic of mental health is no longer taboo, so I hope to encourage those who feel like they cannot voice their own struggles, to go ahead and speak up,” she adds.

Across her debut EP, Taylor B-W shares the full spectrum of her sonic talent and continues to stake her claim as Australia’s rising pop Princess.
