Towa Bird, premieres her debut on April 7th with her debut single “Wild Heart”. This song is an exhilarating and emotionally raw piece of alt-pop spotlighting the incendiary guitar work that has earned her attention over the past few years.
Towa explained “Wild Heart” as her experiences before she became who she is today. “The song is about personal growth within my romantic relationships and addresses my past self and actions I’ve taken. I’m personified as a reckless cowboy who meets a girl, gets caught in her grip, and to his surprise becomes completely devoted to her. It illustrates the person that I once was and the person I’ve grown into not nearly perfect, but definitely not as much of an asshole,” Towa said.
”Wild Heart” is not only Towa’s debut single, but also makes for a fitting introduction to the album’s combustible sound and unguarded introspection. She mentioned that the album will be energetic and bold, but also incredibly vulnerable and soul-baring.
“Wild Heart” features production from Thomas Powers of New Zealand-bred indie-pop band: The Naked and Famous. Along with showcasing her ingenuity as a guitarist, the song “Wild Heart” reveals the radiant imagination and strong-minded vision that becomes the list of creatives shaping youth culture and this song brings the Towa’s powerful musicianship to a tender reflection on love and independence.
Towa is a half-Filipino, half-English artist who spent much of her childhood in Thailand and London. She first started playing guitar at the age of 12 and forming her first band at age 14. Towa dropped out of school after two years to pursue her love of music and got her start producing and co-writing for other artists, and now based in Los Angeles.
As her singular guitar style gained attention across the globe, Towa began sharing original music and soon after inked her deal with Interscope Records. Later this year, Towa’s debut album offers up an intimate exploration of queerness, identity, and the complexities of love.
