Floating atop spacey synths and rolling basslines, flowering into brassy jazz breaks, the track \u2013 self-produced by Taloula with silky trumpet touches from Jackson Mathod (Stormzy, Jordan Rakei), feels like a call to attention that will continue the growing hype around this exciting multi-hyphenate talent.<\/p>\n<p>Taloula celebrates self-realisation and exploration, her glossy vocal layering dissolving into airy break beats, opening pockets for her to fill with wisdom and a refreshingly classy sonic aesthetic. Maintaining that poise whilst communicating the unnerving journey of vulnerability with an aim to inspire a new wave of free-thinkers, only serves to underline the quality on display.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the record, Taloula mentions:<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>\u2018\u2018\u2018DANGER\u2019 is about encouraging and celebrating the power that we all have within us. I used to live through the opinions of others, never listening to my inner voice due to fear and lack of confidence. It has been a long journey to understand that I have a voice, that I am allowed to have my own opinions.
