“I am very happy to be officially releasing this song, Angel. It is a very special song to me personally and I hope it will resonate with everyone. I wrote it just as an attempt to process my own feelings after I had experienced a loss, and then over time and after experiencing more losses in my life, the song has become a really emotional expression of my heart and soul, and I hope that it will be moving to a lot of other people too.” – Tali Hoit
For fans of Nightwish, Within Temptation, Evanescence, Delain, Thy Shade

“listening to these early numbers from Talia, she very clearly has the musical chops to create a very significant solo career” – Benny Benson and Mark Chambers, Rock the Joint Magazine
“É-o em consonância com a atmosfera mágica e etérea que, tanto o vocal de Talia, como a música sinfónica e o vídeo invocam, numa combinação que nos oferece uma impressão de nostalgia – apesar de ser uma peça artística bem recente.” Ethereal Symphonies Blog April 8, 2023. (Translation: It is in consonance with the magical and ethereal atmosphere that both Talia’s vocals, the symphonic music and the video invoke, in a combination that gives us an impression of nostalgia – despite being a very recent piece of art. )
“Talia is a really talented singer; she can hit those notes and transmit the emotion” – Lorraine Foley, Rock the Joint Magazine

“The soprano vocals are delicate and angelic and the vocal lines are catchy and easily to sing along to… would recommend for fans of: Nightwish, Within Temptation, Epica, After Forever, Unsun, Leaves’ Eyes, Sirenia, Ancient Bards, The Gentle Storm” – Sasha Bannister, Noizze UK
“Angelical voice” – Victor Augusto, Ever Metal

“Haunting vocals” – John Bear, Westword

Talia Hoit is an American singer-songwriter from Colorado. Classically trained, she begin playing the piano at the age of 5. Now she writes original songs, performs on vocals and keyboards, and composes orchestra scores for symphonic metal.
She was the keyboardist and a co-songwriter for the hard rock band Anadies for 5 years, releasing an album, Formamentum (2004), and an EP, Catalyst (2006), before branching out to write her own solo songs and sing classical music. She performed as a Soprano with the Colorado Springs Chorale for 10 years, and as the Chamber Singers of the Colorado Springs Chorale for 5 years. As a solo artist, she wrote and independently recorded two original albums of songs, Fate’s Too Small (2007) and A Little Longer (2012) which had a limited physical cd release only.
In 2014, she recorded ambient vocal backing tracks as a guest musician for a symphonic power metal band, Psycodrama. After this studio experience, she decided to pursue her passion for singing symphonic metal. That same year, she joined the band Beyond Forgiveness and is currently the lead singer, orchestral composer, co-lyricist, and co-songwriter for the band. They have released an EP: The Ferryman’s Shore (2015), two albums: The Great Wall (2017) and Live to Tell the Story (2019), and are currently in the studio working on their third full-length album, Cold as Winter’s Ice.
In the fall of 2019, she worked with producer Jarek Musil to record a single, Angel, for personal purposes, which had a soft release in early 2020 on Soundcloud only. Since the Covid pandemic, she has been working remotely with a talented group of producers and musicians to bring more of her most personal and intimate solo songs to life.
In November, 2022, she released a single and music video for the song, Until It’s Forgotten, recorded at the Colorado Sound Studios with producer Steve Avedis. In March 2023, she released a single, Abandon, with producer Mane Cabrales, along with another music video. Her next single and music video is a newly mastered version and new music video for the song Angel, which never had a proper public release until now!
