Tilda charts her inner cosmos with exceptional EP, "The Way I’m Wired"
Tilda has always been a songwriter unafraid to wear her heart on her sleeve, but with The Way I’m Wired, she steps into her most unfiltered self yet. Out September 26, the five-track collection arrives not just as a set of songs, but as a luminous journal of the past five years of her life, capturing heartbreak, growth, and the quiet resilience that follows. It’s both intimate and expansive, a folk-infused indie journey that feels like sitting across from a close friend who’s decided to tell you everything.
From the very first notes, it’s clear this is Tilda’s most ambitious and cohesive statement to date. Working alongside collaborator Matt Luis and guided by producer Shaun Reynolds, she’s created an EP that thrives on detail, layering textures and instruments in ways that mirror the push-and-pull of vulnerability and strength. Guitars shimmer courtesy of Jack Shepherd, while Francesca Morris’ delicate piano and Harley Eblen’s strings bring both fragility and grandeur to the arrangements. Johnathan Ogle’s harmonica lends a haunting touch, adding warmth and ache in equal measure. The instrumentation never overshadows Tilda’s voice; instead, it amplifies it, allowing her stories to breathe with cinematic weight.
What makes this project stand out isn’t just the production polish, but the emotional resonance threaded throughout. Tilda doesn’t shy away from exposing the fractures in her journey, she leans into them, crafting songs that feel therapeutic not only for her but for anyone listening. Each track plays like a chapter of her healing, and as the EP unfolds, the cumulative effect is one of catharsis.
There’s also a sense of intentionality in the timing of its release, dropping just one day before the anniversary of her debut single, Sticks & Stones. That detail underscores the arc of her career: from a teenager learning to translate her emotions into melodies, to an artist in full command of her creative vision. This EP feels like both a celebration of that growth and a bold look ahead.
With The Way I’m Wired, Tilda proves she’s not just telling her story—she’s inviting listeners to find themselves within it. Equal parts confessional and communal, the EP is a radiant reminder that vulnerability can be the greatest act of strength. It’s her finest work yet, and a clear signal that she’s just getting started.
