My Music with Graham Coath: Thala – Avalanche, Art & Feminine Rage

In this powerful and candid episode of My Music, host Graham Coath is joined by Berlin-based indie artist Thala for a wide-ranging conversation that delves headfirst into music, misogyny, self-worth, social media pressure, and navigating the challenges of surviving as an artist in a fractured industry.

Talking about her album ‘Avalanche’, Thala speaks candidly about working full-time while chasing creative dreams, the pressure to package yourself for algorithms, and why she refuses to write songs for TikTok. She also shares her unapologetic views on modern feminism in music, the ongoing double standards faced by female artists, and how she channels rage, reflection and resilience into her art.

Expect a conversation full of fire and insight as Graham and Thala tackle:

• Why Valentine’s Day was the perfect date to release an album about heartbreak and healing
• The challenges of being an independent artist without inherited wealth or industry backing
• The politics of boundaries – in love, life, and the music business
• The absurdities of algorithm culture (“you can’t even finish 8 seconds?!”)
• What the next “A” might be after Adolescence and Avalanche

Funny, fearless and full of heart, Thala’s honesty is magnetic. If you’ve ever tried to make something meaningful in a world that demands everything be bite-sized and branded, this one’s for you.

No tracks played, just the real story behind the music – and why buying a pickle for an artist might mean more than a stream ever could.
