With
Amour Armour, London-based artist
TATYANA invites you into a five-track reverie of house music built for connection. Where her previous records explored heartbreak in the digital age,
Amour Armour finds something more embodied, tender, and real pulsing under the strobe light. Vulnerability is no longer something to fear or fend off; it’s the only way in.
This is the natural evolution of the sonic world TATYANA began building on 2024’s
It’s Over and expanded with its deluxe counterpart
It’s So Over. This material – marked by bright, club-informed electronics, harp flourishes, and lyrics that confronted the messiness of romance, modern dating, and online detachment – was rooted in a kind of emotional exposure: willing to feel everything, even when it hurt. As TATYANA put it at the time, “Hurt me, because that’s where real life happens.”
Amour Armour carries that same emotional clarity onto the dancefloor, but with a shift: there’s joy here, and longing, and moments of ecstatic closeness. Whether she’s commanding the room on “Main Event” (featuring French DJ and producer
Bambounou) or whispering through the haze of desire on the title track, TATYANA frames club culture as a space where you can both lose yourself and be fully seen. These are songs about love as protection and exposure all at once – a duality echoed in the EP’s name.
Written in the wake of
It’s Over’s bold independence,
Amour Armour leans confidently into rhythm and repetition, echoing the cycles of desire and clarity that play out across its lyrics. On “Overdue,” a revelation breaks through the bassline: “Even with all our history, I never thought that we could be.” And on “What Can I Do,” the question at the heart of so many relationships spills over the beat: “Don’t you wanna be together?”
After a childhood spent living across the globe, Tatyana eventually settled in her hometown of London, after having studied jazz and electronic production at Berklee College of Music on a full scholarship. Drawing on diverse influences ranging from house legends like
Maurice Fulton and
Kerri Chandler to experimental acts like
The Knife and
LCD Soundsystem, she has crafted a unique electronic pop sound that places her alongside artists such as
Jessy Lanza, Tirzah, Kelela, and
Marie Davidson. While
It’s Over introduced her as an artist unafraid to confront emotional depths,
Amour Armour finds her dancing through the aftermath, seeking something authentic.
