Talia Stewart‘s new album, Confessional, is a no-holds-barred exploration of human expression. Through her eclectic and dynamic soundscapes and striking, conceptual visuals, Talia uses her art to make us examine our relationships with each other and ourselves.
Talia joins The Quinn Spinn to talk about Confessional, her creative process, and what it has taken for her to carve out a special place in Nashville and the music world at-large.
