Tailor Biography

Written by Lisa Verrico

That half of Tailor's debut album was written in a day is remarkable enough. That those songs spilt out of the Cape Town-based singer without any warning is as strange and striking as 'The Dark Horse' sounds.

After four years laying the groundwork for her first solo project, in February, Tailor travelled to her hometown of Johannesburg to record half a dozen demos. To her surprise, she finished the session with twice as much material and a new-found understanding of what inspires her songs.

"As Tailor, it was my first time solo in a proper studio with a producer," recalls the singer, who was first signed with a band at the age of 15. "I took what I thought were my twelve best songs, written over a few years. Just as we finished laying down the last one, I began playing about on my guitar and singing lyrics that seemed to sail in to my head. I didn't even realise I had written a song until the producer asked me to play it again because he hadn't hit record."

That song, the bewitching 'Wolf', is Tailor's first single from 'The Dark Horse'. But it wasn't a one-off.

"One by one, new tracks just flowed out of me," says Tailor. "No one could believe I hadn't prepared them. It was a bizarre, spiritual experience. I felt as though I had floated out of my body and was watching someone else. I learnt a lot about myself that day. I discovered a side to me I didn't know was there."
