Multi-talented singer, songwriter, and business savvy phenom Tayla Parx releases the official video for her track “Sad,” available now on her new album titled “COPING MECHANISMS” via TaylaMade/Atlantic Records.
If you’ve ever been scorned in love by someone you trusted, Tayla has a remedy in a song that humorously articulates the twisted emotions you feel from the jump. “When I listen to ‘Sad’ now, it’s so funny that somebody could affect me so much so that I wrote this quirky song about it. Maybe it wasn’t the healthiest reaction, but it was my own coping mechanism at the time,” states Tayla.
The vibrant colors and whimsical storytelling scenes in “Sad” are undeniably useful for a song that wants to keep it real. The stages of a scorned love cut deep, and the process of healing takes time. It’s okay to embrace the moments when you have zero f***ks to give, and Tayla represents this stage oh so well. Check out the fun video below.

ABOUT TAYLA PARX
Taylor Parks, known by her stage name Tayla Parx, was born and raised in Dallas where she trained with legendary choreographer Debbie Allen who encouraged her to pursue acting and singing. After moving to Los Angeles, she began honing her musical talents and released her 2017 mixtape, TaylaMade, which has garnered over 25 million streams to date. In 2019 Parx released her debut album, We Need To Talk, via Atlantic Records to widespread praise; The New York Times proclaimed, “The new album, like Parx’s best hits, is playful and conversational, blending pop, R&B and traces of rap with plenty of Grande-esque high notes,” while Rolling Stone called it “a solid pop manifesto from a child-star-turned-pop-savant.” Entertainment Weekly added, “[Parx] exploded as one of pop music’s go-to songwriters.”
When Parx released We Need To Talk she was the first female songwriter to have three simultaneous top 10 songs—Grande’s “7 Rings” and “thank u, next,” and Panic! At The Disco’s “High Hopes”—in the Billboard Hot 100 since 2014 while also winning Billboard’s “2019 Hitmaker Award.” During that same year, Parx performed as a special guest on Lizzo’s Cuz I Love You Tour and Anderson .Paak’s ABC Tour while launching Burnout, a landmark new songwriting camp with the aim of fostering perspective, balance and self-care for creative artists. The premiere Burnout camp was held in 2019, with further virtual camps planned for the coming months.
