Love Quote by Thia Megia

There is something refreshingly unpretentious in Thia Megia staking her claim not through genre purity, but through physicality: she loves to belt. That verb matters. It frames singing as an athletic act, a full-body commitment, not a curated aesthetic. “Bluesy and jazzy and more soul-like” reads less like a playlist than a set of permissions: space for grit, bends, rasp, and emotional overrun. She’s describing music that can handle volume without losing intimacy.

The pile-on phrasing - “more… and… and… more…” - also tells you what’s at stake. This is a young singer reaching for lineage in real time, grabbing at the cultural vocabulary that signals seriousness: blues, jazz, soul. Those words carry a promise of authenticity in pop culture, especially in the post-Idol universe where “having a moment” can look like a big note rather than a distinctive point of view. Megia’s subtext is partly strategic: bigger songs mean bigger opportunities to prove you’re not just competent, you’re undeniable.

But it’s not only branding. “Bigger songs” is an emotional preference, a desire for stakes. Belt-friendly material tends to be structured around release: tension, lift, payoff. She’s saying she wants music built for catharsis, not mood boards. In a moment when pop often prizes chill minimalism and whispery intimacy, Megia leans toward the opposite: tradition, dramatics, and the kind of singing that dares the room to stay unmoved.
