Tasha Solomita shares ‘Grey Light’ EP

Originally hailing from California and now based in Brooklyn, Tasha Solomita is an indie R&B singer-songwriter whose music flickers between classic influence and highly personal expression. Taking cues from the enduring emotional power of artists such as Amy Winehouse, Ella Fitzgerald and Joni Mitchell, Tasha folds in inspiration from generations of adventurous songwriting while creating a sound informed by her own experiences, reflections and unique perspective.

Since introducing herself in 2020 with debut single “Smolder,” Tasha has gradually built a musical world that feels intimate, thoughtful and full of character. Over time, she’s allowed each release to reveal another part of her creative identity, adding new shades and textures to a catalogue that revolves around storytelling, candid lyricism and artistic curiosity.

Driving her musical vision is the idea that songs can act as windows into the complicated spaces between people, with her music exploring relationships, self-discovery and the ways connection can reveal unexpected truths about ourselves. As someone constantly examining the world around them and searching for the details hidden beneath everyday moments, she transforms personal reflections into relatable musical moments.

Now she presents the most complete run through of her sound with her debut four-track EP titled Grey Light, a release that brings together the different sides of her sound and various hues of her artistic brush into one compelling statement. Across the EP, Tasha creates a journey that moves through shifting emotions and perspectives, each track carrying its own personality while still feeling connected to the wider story.

Presenting as a quartet of chapters from a book, the release frames the up and downs and contradictions that come with human connection. Relationships become both reflections and distortions, acting as journeys through a house of mirrors where every experience reveals something new. Opening track “Familiar Strangers” lands with the strike of sustained tones as the laid back taps of percussion injects a breezy rhythmic sway. With twinkling instrumental flutters and intricate guitar work, Tasha’s soulful voice glides in to spin bright melodies via expressive delivery, casting a spellbinding slice of mellow R&B music that’s infectious and emotive in equal measure.

“Yes I Do” follows with stunning vocal leads and gentle guitar backing as clam clicks set out the smooth groove before the track develops with pulsing bass lines and bouncy drums. Rising with bursts of intensity before simmering down with hushed tone, Tasha’s incredible voice shines throughout to serve up an instantly catchy jam that captures a timeless sound filtered through her own modern style while putting her songwriting flair and performance panache on spectacular display.

With “What About After?,” she slows things down with the downtempo patter of drums and flash of chiming key tones before flowing with alluring vocals and stripped back arrangement. With poignant lyrics and a delicately moody vibe, the track rolls with soft guitar flourishes and utterly enchanting vocal performance, resulting in a moving listening experience that’s memorable, mesmeric and highly affecting from start to finish.

Closing the release with the title track “Grey Light,” the whisper of soft guitar tones and bass notes ushers in Tasha’s voice to form an intimate scene which develops glides with the sparse rustle of drums and tender vocals spinning heartfelt lyrics to offer a gentle and truly charming finale to her incredible debut EP. With Grey Light, Tasha Solomita distils the stories we tell ourselves, the people who change us and the emotions that stay long after a moment has passed. In doing so, she presents is a portrait of an artist exploring those spaces with honesty, imagination and a desire to keep searching for what comes next.
