In The Spotlight

Tara Van – “Glow”

Based in Toronto, this Canadian singer and songwriter started writing songs at the young age of four. She attended Rosedale Heights School of Performing Arts, studying vocals, drama, dance and musical theatre. Unfortunately, anxiety caused by years of school bullying, abusive relationships and undiagnosed ADHD prevented her from sharing her music with the world. Inspired by David Bowie’s performance brilliance and the folk-rock vibe of Melanie, she debuted with “Kicks” in 2023.

Filled with the vibrancy of the feeling of being your most authentic and unguarded self, her new single is probably the most empowering and freeing song you’ll hear this year. Celebrating bringing out that special glow in yourself, she combines lighthearted pop with 70s-touched folk joyousness. With an upbeat rhythm and bright guitar starting the track off, they’re joined by fresh keys and gleeful horns. And with her cheery vocals, this feel-good tune is brimming with positivity and self-love.
