TEHYA SPOONS FOR SWEETS

Rising LA singer-songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist TEHYA has released her new single, ‘spoons for sweets’. She is continuing the alt-pop legacy of Neon Gold Records, with inspiration from Charli XCX and Christine and the Queens entering her nuanced sound. It’s a groovy track that takes a simple rhythm section and enlivens it with shimmering keys and a twisted acoustic guitar hook, all of which support her distinctive voice and lyrics. The track “stems from such a hyper-specific memory of a man I met a while ago literally stealing a dessert spoon for me. Our acquaintance was fairly short-lived, but every moment with him was so full of life, curiosity, and playfulness. We rarely play anymore, as adults. His demeanor inspired so much in me.” Keep an eye out for more from this exciting DIY artist. -Dan Peeke
