Iowa-based singer, songwriter, and actress Taydem Shoesmith mesmerizes in her latest jazz single, “This, That,” released Nov 5 under MTS Records. In “This, That” she presents us with a masterful blend of sultry vocals and sensational instrumentals.
The rising star is already known for her charting electro-pop debut single “Are You Clapping?” Only beginning her musical journey in January, Shoesmith’s debut has topped 89K streams on Spotify and secured a spot in the UK iTunes Top 5.
Produced by Caleb Ostermann at ForteStudios, the track opens with sensational rippling horns, setting the stage for Taydem’s entrance. Her voice possesses both softness and richness, creating a luscious sonic landscape. Taydem’s delivery is nothing short of sleek and slithering, adding an air of mystery to her performance. The control she exhibits over her vocals enhances the allure, making every note a tantalizing exploration perfect for the jazzy genre.
Influenced by musical legends like Michael Jackson, Rascal Flatts, and Billie Holiday, Taydem Shoesmith brings a unique fusion of jazz styles to her work. “This, That” actually began as a theme song for a 1920s-inspired silent film for her actor and director friend. This is how she began her way into jazz and created her first jazz song.
“This, That” is available on all major streaming platforms. So check out the promising shining star, Taydem Shoesmith now!
