The Voice alum Tay Beckham is ready to launch her solo career with her debut EP “Love Hard” and debut music video “Excuses,” which exclusively premiered on Yahoo Music last Friday. The “Excuses” video is directed by Toroh Films and produced by Larry Plummer.
Tay is especially inspired by more soulful tracks and takes her musical cues from the height of 90s R&B. Her lyrics encompass the feelings of today’s young people, but her voice soothes every generation. Her latest single, “Excuses,” is a sultry and soulful break-up anthem bringing a millennial singer/songwriter’s take on love and heartbreak to the scene. Think: Tori Kelly meets Alicia Keys.
“I’m so excited about officially becoming a solo artist and starting my career off with my very first music video. It’s quite an exciting time for me,” said Beckham.
The Voice fans will remember in season 4 how Tay, only 17 years-old at the time, wowed the crowd and the judges with her passionate rendition of “I’m Goin’ Down” by Mary J. Blige. Impressed by Tay’s raw talent and soulful vocals, R&B legend and multiple Grammy winner Usher successfully fought to beat out sassy singer/songwriter Shakira to win the young star for his team.
Tay’s debut EP “Love Hard” is available for purchase on iTunes, Amazon and Google Play. Fans can also hear the hit song on Spotify and Vevo.
