When the time came to name her project, she realised she was already synonymous with tinyumbrellas, and decided to stick with it. As her confidence and personality grew, so too did the support of the creative community she had connected with online. DT mastered Garageband on her iphone and picked up a ukelele, surprised to discover the vast songwriting potential of the four stringed instrument. Originally a name chosen at random for her Instagram account – it served as a digital scrapbook of sorts where she shared her various creative endeavors including art, photography and early musical experiments. The seeds of the tinyumbrellas project were sown when DT was in her mid-teens. DT is a passionate climate activist, and participates in several groups including ‘Climate Live,’ an organisation which runs concerts to spread environmental awareness. With a deep admiration for films such as My Neighbour Totoro and Princess Monoke, which are laced with subtle calls to action to treasure the natural world, it’s little wonder that environmental protection has become so intrinsic to DT’s life, with references to nature often woven through her music and art. Influenced by the way Ghibli’s Miyazaki and Takahata craft worlds that feel all at once transportative, adventurous and empathetic, she hopes to bring a similar quality to her own creations. All my songs so far seem to tell the story of my coming-of-age, and this one is no different.”ĭT cites Studio Ghibli as a key inspiration for her music as tinyumbrellas. I wanted this song to highlight the importance of platonic friendship and mutual connection between two people before anything else might potentially happen.
It’s not particularly nice to be on either side of the situation this song talks about, but I feel like if you care about someone enough, a solid and meaningful friendship is just a wonderful thing to be a part of.
It’s about when you meet someone new, and they’re really lovely and you both get along really well, with the exception of one thing – both having opposite ends of the stick. On the track’s meaning, tinyumbrellas explains “‘Please Don’t Make This Weird’ follows the story of a very relatable situation which I have found myself in more often than I’d like to admit. Once within the world that listener feels honored to be embracing every aspect of this exploration. To deliver this rich atmosphere that pulls the listener in.
That ability is not only striking but showcases the power of this songwriter. Brave lyrics that bring affection to the forefront of the ensemble whilst the delicate tonalities that stir throughout simply lift the harmonies that captivate throughout.Ī deeply personal creation from an artist that can capture those powerful emotions within their vision. The volatility of this ensemble will leave you in awe.
The new single showcases tinyumbrellas emotion-packed vocal delivery, which is intimate and uniquely raw. “ Please Don’t Make This Weird” solidifies the promise of this innovative and compelling artist.
