Tlya X An – Camel’s Back (2024)
In a musical landscape increasingly saturated with uniform sounds, Tlya X An – the enigmatic vocalist, producer, and visual artist known as TXN – emerges as a true nonconformist. With her latest single, ‘Camel’s Back’ she once again proves herself to be a formidable force, capable of captivating audiences with her raw, emotionally charged artistry.
The genesis of ‘Camel’s Back’ is as organic as the song itself. It was born from a moment of pure serendipity when TXN heard her father spontaneously improvising chords on his guitar. This chance encounter sparked an immediate creative outpouring as TXN effortlessly wove her father’s guitar work into a visceral exploration of personal awakening. Layering in her signature electronic flourishes, a propulsive bassline, and hauntingly powerful vocals, she has crafted a track that is both intimate and anthemic.
‘Camel’s Back’ is a sonic representation of the painful yet transformative process of confronting life’s most difficult truths. TXN’s lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and resilience as she guides the listener through the darkness and emerges with a renewed sense of hope. The track’s production mirrors this journey, ebbing and flowing between sparse, introspective passages and moments of cathartic release.
When asked about the inspiration behind the song, Tlya X An shared, “This song came to me like a message channelling through. It’s about that moment when life falls apart, and you’re left facing nothing but the truth. It’s painful, but it’s also the beginning of growth and hope.”
‘Camel’s Back’ is the latest chapter in Tlya X An’s remarkable artistic evolution. Following the success of her single ‘Ninja’ and her acclaimed debut EP TXN, the singer-songwriter continues to garner critical acclaim and support from influential platforms like BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 6 Music. With each new release, TXN solidifies her reputation as a visionary talent who fearlessly pushes creative boundaries, offering audiences a raw and authentic glimpse into the human experience.
