Setting the tone with glistening celestial details and choral panning vocal textures, Tarli opens his new single Heaven Sent with the assertive and thought provoking lyrics, “Woah, don’t know my name don’t try to dap me that’s the code, I run the game they waiting for that shit to load, it’s bout the commas get the check and hit the road, just got with mama, she said check-in with the Lord...”

The song expands to deliver an immersive soundscape whilst Tarli, from Saint Paul in Minnesota, takes us on a cerebral and poetic journey touching upon the human condition, abundance, connection with the universe and self-worth.

Tarli, formally known as eL.i.Be teamed up with collaborator and producer, Wes. on the track, and described Heaven Sent as a “metamorphosis of both aesthetic and sound akin to a blend of Travis Scott’s Goosebumps and Isaiah Rashad’s Lay wit yah”, although it is very clear that Tarli is creating a dimension of his own!

Lyrical highlights include the confident “Heaven sent bitch I’m blessed, fuck you know it…”, and the abundant “I been getting to the pot of gold, both sides of the rainbow”.

Tarli‘s name change signifies not only a significant transformation but an actual reclamation of his true self. Tarli, his given name, originates from his mother’s tribe and means ‘successful journey’. This step into alignment with his name, sound, and aesthetic are sure to affirm precisely that – a successful journey. We love this level of authenticity.

We have added Heaven Sent to our New Music Spotlight playlist and continue to explore Tarli’s discography including Nite Swim and Feelin Right.
