The keen reader might remember British songstress Tahani from a feature we published earlier this year, praising ‘17’ as a “sunnier and more uplifting record, one that brings about a potential new era for the project”. The same new creative wave is now seen continuing into ‘Don’t Come Knocking’, Tahani’s latest effort. Confirming Dan Scholes as a trusted production partner, the record is wrapped in lyrical authenticity and an atmospheric cinematic sound, slowly blooming into a personally driven anthem.
Compared to its predecessor, ‘Don’t Come Knocking’ feels relatively more laidback and melancholic, yet it still maintains the emotional fervour that makes the project so relatable and vivid. We suspect that’s mostly due to Tahani’s own experience, as she writes from a position of authority and unfiltered honesty. In that sense, ‘Don’t Come Knocking’ is bound to resonate with anyone dealing with unloyal friends, or anyone seeking to break free from a toxic personal situation.
Delving deeper into the creative ethos that propels the record, Tahani explains: “A power anthem and the ultimate soundtrack for anyone reclaiming their worth and slamming the door shut on everything and anyone that no longer serves them. It’s about all of those people who are there when you are of service to them, when you are people pleasing them! Yet the second you need that support, they are nowhere to be found because they are not getting anything in return!”
