Tara Van (@taravanmusic) is a Toronto-based singer-songwriter. Not too long ago, she released a lovely contemporary pop single, “Glow.”
Tara Van – “Glow” Single
“Glow” embodies the feeling of vibrancy and joy that you feel when you are living as your most authentic and unguarded self. Though the motivational song seems like it might be talking about someone else bringing out that glow in you, the truth of the song is actually that you are bringing out that glow in yourself and admiring how far you have come and how free you feel after dismantling your walls.
“I write a bunch of different stuff, but I have really been focusing on feel-good, motivational, and empowering music in the past year,” Tara Van admits. “I don’t want to sugarcoat the troubles of our times, of which there are many, but my goal is to hammer in imported messages about inclusivity, collectivism, self-love, mindfulness, respect, environmentalism, empathy, living reflectively, deep listening, communicating effectively, etc., in hopes that incremental changes to people’s mindsets and mental wellbeing will positively impact individuals who then affect communities who then affect countries who then affect continents and so on and so forth. Love, joyfulness, and hope are all completely infectious but so are hate, sadness, and negativity. Though I write sad songs as well, and I believe there is complete merit in songs that allow you to tap into and process any emotion, I personally would like to fill the world with as much love as I can in the short time that I have here.”
“Glow” gives listeners glimpses of Tara Van’s internal world, where she is generous in her self-disclosure. As a textbook ADHD oversharer, listeners can feel her weather report: sun-soaked, overcast, stormy, etc. She lets herself express the mess. Her approach is as gutsy and bold as it is tender and vulnerable. She’s inviting you in. Listen to her diary with care. It’s best enjoyed by an open heart.
“Take it on the town, throwing all your glow around.”
Tara Van will be songwriting, singing, and performing, no matter who might be there to listen. Songs are her love language. Whether jamming solo, in the studio, or collaborating with her band, the music courses through her and she receives it. She writes her heartbreak, both to settle the score with herself, and for all those whose daydreams have been clouded by hurt.
The magical thinking that set her apart early on never left her side. Guided by the poetic cycles of wilting, falling, rooting, rising, and blooming, her first studio album RISE was born in 2023. Tara Van has a sweet spot for Bubblegum Rock and Dream Pop that is fueling her latest studio productions.
