TALK

2023 was one of explosive growth for TALK. His hit single “Run Away to Mars” continued to soar, reaching #1 at Alternative radio formats in both Canada and the US, and hitting multi-platinum sales. It led his debut album, Lord of the Flies & Birds & Bees, alongside singles “A Little Bit Happy” and “Wasteland”, helping the album reach Gold certification only a few weeks after release in October 2023.

The year also launched TALK’s first major tours around the world, including a headline run through Europe, festivals including Lollapalooza, Boston Calling, FEQ, Calgary Stampede and an opening slot supporting Young the Giant and Milky Chance across North America. FACTOR supported TALK on the tour through the Live Performance program, helping him cross the US and Canada on this 27-show amphitheater run, playing legendary venues including Red Rocks in Colorado and New York’s Pier 17.
