About Me


To order Talking Loud's EP "Come a little bit closer"
contact us at [email protected]. We're also available on Itunes.

In 2002 guitarist Remi met Leadsinger Musiex. They share the same musical interest and that's when the first plans of making a band are made. A couple of years later they meet other great soulfull musicians through different projects and that's when Talking loud is on. In the same period they do pre-shows for Tasha's World and Meshell NdegeOcello.
Due to many other projects Talking Loud takes a break in 2006. With these artists they perform on festivals such as Lowlands, Parkpop,Uitmarkt, the Hague Jazz and North Sea Jazz.
By the end of 2006, with fresh inspiration, they decide to write new material and at the moment they're finishing the last songs for their debut EP that will release Feb 27th 2008. It will be a small preview of what's to expect on their album that will be launched in 2009.
Talking Loud can be recognized by it's light, feel good vibe combined with more raw and straight from the heart songs. They write and produce the songs themselves. inspired by life's experiences it results in their own unique sound that contains elements of Soul, Jazz and Pop.
QUOTES:
www.jazzandsoul.eu (Belgium):
A great EP, well produced, good songwriting and a mature sounding lead vocalist. Dreamy composition, addictive, great rhythm section and vocal lines, beautiful harmony backings. Come a little bit closer carries a steady vibe which makes you want more after the EP ends. - July 1st ‘08
Tros Music Cafe (Dutch National Radio):
Talking Loud also known as the promise of the future. - June 21th ‘08
3FM (Dutch National Radio):
What a voice and great guitar skills, wonderful! - April 23th ’08
Review after the pre-show of Meshell Ndegeocello: WWW.GITAARNET.NL on Talking Loud : "a steady rhythm section, a pianist and guitarist who prove themselves both functionally as in solo's and a vocalist with a light brown voice that can compete easily with Joss Stone en Erykah Badu. In other words : we are not worried about these young talents."
