Thals - 'Villanelle'

Half Colombian, half Spanish and general all-round badass Thals is back with her new Killing Eve inspired track ‘Villanelle’.

Combining a modern lo-fi take on electronic indie pop, drawing on sounds like The 1975 and Girl in Red - she brings a breath of fresh air to the genre. Given to us with a dash of chilled cheekiness, Thals brings a punk flare to her skater girl fueled pop. Only having started her songwriting and production endeavours in 2020, she is now ready to take it all way too seriously as she embarks on a career as an artist. Watch out for Thals, she will ollie her way to the top.
