Talia Rae

Praised by publications including Dork, Noctis Magazine, and 1883 Magazine for her commanding voice, emotional depth, and effortless magnetism, UK singer-songwriter Talia Rae enters a defining new era with her forthcoming EP Julia, arriving June 5, 2026 via Glassnote Records. Blending smoky soul, cinematic pop, and diaristic songwriting, Rae has quickly become one of the UK’s most exciting emerging artists: equally captivating for her timeless style and emotionally raw storytelling. Expanding on the intimate songwriting of her 2024 debut EP Shadows, Julia is her most personal work to date, exploring love, identity, family, and emotional vulnerability with striking honesty and understated glamour. At the heart of the project are deeply personal songs including “If I Were Your Mother,” dedicated to her mother, and the title track “Julia,” written to herself from the perspective of her father.

 

The EP has been introduced through a run of standout singles including “Blind in Love,” “Blue,” and the intoxicating “Euphoria,” produced by Bailey Hopton and co-written with Max Wolfgang. Across the project, Rae pairs lush, late-night production with intimate lyricism and a distinctly British sensibility, channeling influences like Amy Winehouse while carving out a world entirely her own. Born and raised in Essex and trained at the Sylvia Young Theatre School, Rae has already performed at major venues and festivals including BST Hyde Park supporting Stevie Nicks, Latitude Festival, The Great Escape, Royal Albert Hall, and a sold-out headline show at Rae’s OMEARA. Following her acclaimed collaboration “Plus & Minus” with David Gray, including a performance on Later… with Jools Holland and a UK tour together, Rae will join James Morrison on tour throughout the summer of 2026, culminating June 4 at Eventim Apollo in London, the night before the release of Julia.
