You simply don't find a place on the roster of Full Cycle without rockin’ and after witnessing New Zealand's Tali live, I can confirm that her inclusion among the highbrow company on the afore-mentioned label is well justified. With the exception of Tali's tendency to constantly remind her crowd who she is, her set was extremely slick and professional. She seems ambitious and with the skills she displays on stage, who can blame her for aiming high? This sparse representation of exact vocal stylings serves its purpose, framing Tali's performance while still being hard enough to rock a dance floor. Trust Dillinja to up the anti on the more relentless drum&bass; reworking of Blazin'; it certainly raised my eyebrows. That's the great thing for Tali, the fact that her label-mates can lend a helping hand and add their respectable names to the credits. She certainly deserves to have great music behind her and you don't get much better than Shy FX & T Power, deservedly in vogue at the moment. Their remix adds some lovely rumbling bass and energy, leaving the original version for dead despite its initial appeal. There are high hopes for Tali on the international scene and this single will do nothing to deter the trust of her high-profile label.
