With new music on the horizon in the form of his new single ‘Talking To Myself Out Loud’, Taglieri returns to release a very personal song. Taking five years off from releasing music due to vocal cord damage, as well as life and being a dad, the new single speaks to a vulnerable singer learning to find his identity and voice again as an artist. A very personal song, its unlike anything Taglieri has released before.

‘With the vocal damage I have, and being told by the best Doctors out there that its irreparable and I was done as a vocalist, there were a lot of late nights looking in the mirror telling myself that I wasnt done and I would find a way back. It took five years and a lot of musical introspection, but I never gave up.’ says Taglieri. 

With the help of producer Munk Duane, Taglieri went into the studio to rediscover his musical path. ‘I wrote this song almost a year ago, and wrote lyrics for it three times, but it just never felt right. It was an uptempo rocker but something wasnt clicking. I brought the song to one of my closest friends and a brilliant musician & producer, Munk Duane. He changed the arrangement to the slower feel and all of a sudden, it made sense. Then the lyrics jumped out at me from the 3 sets I had...almost like puzzle pieces. I’d said what I wanted, but just in different placeWs. It took Munks' view of it for me to see them.’ The result is a track with a wide palette of tones and a luscious landscape of musicality and lyrics that are emotionally touching and a glimpse inside the struggles of a vocalist struggling for five years to find his way back to his identity.

Talking To Myself Out Loud - John Taglieri

Part Time Love is about my career and how it changed in 2016 from full-time to part-time musician. Metaphorically speaking, the song is the thoughts in my head after having to give up my full-time career. But even as a part-time musician, I'm still making music and finding ways to stay happy with my love for it all. 

It can also be viewed as longing for your partner but they only see you as nothing more than a friend or a lover but not one that can be anything more. Moody, honest.

Throughout his sixteen-year career, John Taglieri has taken the DIY concept to an extreme level, releasing fourteen albums on his own terms, with no major financial backing in place, playing thousands of shows from New England to Los Angeles to Europe. With two Billboard charting releases to his name (2013’s ‘Southern Paradise’ and 2014’s ‘Days Like These’), a chart topping single on Amazon (the #1 ‘Make Me Believe’), a top selling EP on iTunes (‘Days Like These’), and over 25,000 CDs sold, the multi genre singer / songwriter / producer has managed to successfully do things his way and live to tell about it.
 
At the turn of the century singer / songwriter John Taglieri released his debut album, ‘Leap of Faith.’  The album title foreshadowed a career that has so far spanned a decade and a half and has taken John to places he’d previously only dreamed about…from topping the Amazon charts to hitting the Billboard charts to gigging around the world all while maintaining a half year residency in tropical Key West, FL.
 
In 2015 Taglieri is fourteen releases down the road and has crossed genres from hard rock to pop to country rock and with the True Believer Ep he has returned to the style that kicked it all off for him – pure, unadulterated melodic hard rock.  Writing on his own as well as with longtime friends John Calendrillo and Ron Ossi, Taglieri has created a hook heavy record that even the most discriminating rock fan will be drawn towards. 
 
Launching all those years ago with a ‘Leap Of Faith’, and after all he’s been through, its only fitting that his latest release be titled ‘True Believer’. The opening riff of ‘Don’t Ask Why’ kicks off the Ep like a punch to the face and it never stops. Heavy, a bit dark, a bit angry…’Don’t Ask Why’ is a song that you’ll want to repeat over and over louder and louder. The Title track, ‘True Believer’, was a song that’s been with John for over 20 years dating back to his old band Big Trouble. The hook lived in his head all these years and he finally decided the time was right. ‘Way Out’ is a mid-tempo masterpiece with a huge hook and a conversation we’ve all had at the end of a relationship at some point in our lives. ‘Take This Ride’ & ‘Above The Sunrise’ harken back to old school guitars, Hammond organs and in your face vocals. ‘Mad Mad World’ closes out the Ep with attitude and aggression, in a song about how in this world, you have to keep on your toes at all times or you’ll get swallowed up.
 
Growing up in suburban New Jersey, Taglieri was weaned on everything from The Beatles to Black Sabbath and everywhere in between. The musical palette he had growing up was wide and classic, full of bands that are today revered as some of the greatest in history. Influences from Pop, Hard Rock, Metal, R&B, New Wave, Punk & more can be found all throughout Taglieri’s catalog as a writer.This EP is decidedly Hard Rock 
 
Recently John and his wife celebrated their daughter’s first birthday and it’s given him a new perspective on life. “Becoming a dad is the single greatest thing I’ve ever done. Nothing else comes close and my daughter brings new passion to my life in every way. I definitely am more driven than ever to succeed and make sure I can give my family the life they deserve to have.’ 
 
Sixteen years, fourteen releases, and every goal and milestone one could ever hope to have in a career. John Taglieri is indie for life and here to stay. He may never be a household name, but you’d be hard pressed to find a career as solidly built and as sustaining.
