SPELLLING Hard To Please

“Hard to Please” is the debut Sacred Bones 7" release by Bay Area artist Tia
Cabral, aka Spelling. Spelling released her first full length Pantheon of Me in
September 2017 and it was self written, performed and produced in her apartment
in Berkeley, California. Spelling's powerful vocal range dances over
compositions that vary from rhythmic and ethereal to crunchy and hypnotic, while
all remaining singularly cohesive to her distinct and enveloping sound. Pantheon of
Me was Bandcamp's #4 record of the year in 2017 and they raved: "Cabral has it,
from her careful sense of composition to her charismatic presence to her ability to
communicate with her music straight through to the listener's heart." Her newest
tracks "Hard to Please" and "My Other Voice" (a cover of Sparks' 1979 symphonic
disco track) pair together to reflect on bittersweet passions of an obsessive
romance. "Hard to Please" presents as dance music but journeys through a swirling
climax to something more spiritual. On "My Other Voice" the power of
SPELLLING's voice elevates this cover beyond an homage and to a unique vision
entirely its own
