South African pop sensation Carla Franco, known for her deeply personal and emotive songwriting, is thrilled to announce the release of the music video for her latest single, “Big Talker”.
More info about Carla Franco
The 28-year-old singer-songwriter originally from Bloemfontein and now based in Cape Town, has been making waves in the music industry since her debut Chapter 1 released in April 2022.
Despite being born with a hearing impairment, Carla has never let this challenge define her. Her resilience and determination have been a driving force in her music career, from her first piano lesson at the age of seven to her current success.
“Big Talker” was inspired by the duality of saying one thing and doing another. Carla Franco explains
““Big Talker” has been intentionally written to be received in one of two ways: The first being the experience of a partner whose words and actions don’t align.”
“The second being the heart rate inducing excitement that we have all felt at the beginning of a new and exciting romantic journey. It is up to the listener to decide what “Big Talker” means to them.”
“I had been sitting in my apartment in Cape Town and wanted to better understand what the ‘dots’ on my guitar neckline sounded like per string.”
“In doing so, I started playing around with the bass riff that you will hear throughout the single and the hook of ‘”Big Talker”, sweet talker.’ It really happened organically, and usually pop songwriting does not arrive as organically for me. I suppose I had a muse and that reads throughout the single.”
“I had recorded the basic acoustic guitar stems and all the vocals in Cape Town and then sent all the works through to Hendrik Joerges for production work. It was just fun and I remember feeling so excited about the all-reach that “Big Talker” could have.”
The music video for “Big Talker” brings the song’s fun, nostalgic, and cheeky vibe to life. Carla Franco describes the track as “Fun, Nostalgic, Cheeky, Catchy”.
The video perfectly captures these elements, reminiscent of the punk rock era of the late ’90s and early 2000s.
