The second tune from Tali's forthcoming record Wolves is a huge departure from the UK drum n bass that made her a worldwide name. Faster Than Sound is a self declared love song and is closer to trip hop than Tali's traditional "Boobs to the Wall" DnB; which is a great departure in my eyes. There is nothing worse than seeing an artist mature yet they cling to a sound that has grown stagnant and become dated. Big ups to Tali for breaking new ground and trying something fresh.

Tali takes all the credit for this track. She wrote, produced and recorded the track herself, and on the whole she hasn't done a bad job. My only real criticism of the production is the vocals sound too tuned in sections for a voice that doesn't require it. I also think the song could have benefited from having a really good engineer on board, but these are only small areas for improvement and don't distract from a great track.

Tali has a nice little spit mid song, quickly reminding us why she is still considered one of the world's best female MC's, period.

Faster Than Sound is cinematic, sincere and brings a new optimism to what Tali can offer electronic music. A great evolution in sound and musical vision. You go girl!

One of the most prolific MC's to come out of Drum and Bass in the last ten years, Tali's ability to freestyle and sing soulful, positive and intelligent vocals over the mix, has seen her stay top of her game. She has won numerous awards, released two new albums in the last 12 months ("Dark Days, High Nights" - Audioporn Records) and toured the world extensively as both an MC and live act.

Originally from a Dairy Farm in Taranaki, Tali moved to the UK ten years to follow her dreams of becoming a top international MC.

After signing to the legendary Full Cycle Label owned and run by Roni Size, Tali went onto to release the first ever MC album 'Lyric on my Lip' with a UK top 40 single and worldwide tour and selling over 15,000 albums.
