Me.Tai releases debut single Emotional

After years of composing projects for some of the best artists, British songwriter-turned-singer Me.Tai is finally stepping into the spotlight with the release of her debut single ‘Emotional’.

Produced by Elevated with additional help from British production duo Sons of Sonix (SOS), ‘Emotional’ is an apt introduction to Me.Tai’s recording and performing foundry.

The track poignantly explores human emotions such as intense sadness and temper, vulnerability, and the struggle to control emotions during conflict.

On the song, Me.Tai, while acknowledging the challenge of dealing with intense emotions and being vulnerable, opens up about the pressure of conforming to societal expectations and how hard it can be, especially when she has been wronged.

The attendant visuals further give ‘Emotional’ an aesthetic appeal, with each shot capturing the feverish emotions of the song. The official visualiser’s director, JQ, played an important role by creating the emotional vehemence that the song carries.

Throughout her career, Me.Tai has worked and collaborated with A-list artists and producers to create some of the top charting hits on the continent. She has worked alongside Kenya’s Bien and Nigerian Afrobeats queen Tiwa Savage, and British-Nigerian crooner RAY.

Besides music, her work has also been featured in films and TV. The track ‘Sipping on Fame’ was used in Netflix’s series Inventing Anna. Additionally, her ‘My Girl’ single was used as the official soundtrack of the BBC series Champion.

With a catalogue full of top charting music and diverse placements in film and TV, Me.Tai stands tall among great songwriters.

Born Taiwo Sotonwa, Me.Tai grew up in Southeast London with a deep love for music, inspired by her DJ father. Her passion for singing was ignited at eight years old during a school talent show. Influenced by the Spice Girls and Michael Jackson, Tai’s musical tastes were further shaped by her sister’s introduction to R&B icons like Brandy and Whitney Houston.

Me.Tai’s music blends world-ly sounds with strong R&B influences, characterised by introspective lyrics and strong melodies. She finds inspiration in real-life events and values collaboration, having worked with artists like Bella Shmurda, Adekunle Gold, Tay Iwar, and Sons of Sonix.
