Tasha

For Chicago-born artist Tasha, the last few years have been a time for transition and flourishing. Since the 2021 release of Tell Me What You Miss The Most, the musician has supported nation-wide tours with artists like Nilufer Yanya and Margaret Glaspy. In 2021, she was tapped to join the cast of Illinoise, a Tony-nominated Broadway musical that adapts Sufjan Steven’s seminal album, Illinois, for the stage. Michigan is the first single to come out of this period. Produced by Gregory Uhlmann, the single deals with the uncertainty of loss and faltering infatuation, as well as the steadfast solidity of love and pleasure. The artist’s familiar voice flutes over a dazzling, expansive jangle of guitar, indicating an evolution of sound from the quiet introspective of earlier music into something grander, more symphonic. Michigan is, in many ways, an auditory and artistic promise of the abundance to come, for Tasha and for us.
