Kyle Tallman’s Honest Journey: The Release of ‘I’m Fine‘
Kyle Tallman is no stranger to crafting music that speaks softly yet hits deep. Based out of Chattanooga, Tennessee, Kyle has spent over a decade blending everyday life—raising a family, building a home—with creating songs that stick long after they’re heard. His music isn’t chasing after trends; instead, it quietly carves out a space of its own, filled with melodies paired effortlessly with genuine meaning.
Connecting Through Music
Kyle’s journey has been rich with experiences—touring the United States and abroad, he has shared the stage with notable artists such as Ryan Long, Hanson, SafetySuit, Matt Nathanson, Locksley, Autovaughn, Elenowen, Erin McCarley, Bebo Norman, Drew Holcomb, Matt Wertz, Andy Davis, and more. Whether it’s an intimate house show or a bustling venue, Kyle’s goal remains consistent: to connect, deeply and authentically, rather than simply filling spaces with noise.
His performances are less about spectacle and more about shared moments—those quiet, powerful exchanges between artist and audience. It’s these moments that have defined Kyle’s career, leaving lasting impressions on listeners who carry his songs into their daily lives.
The Story Behind ‘I’m Fine‘
His latest EP, I’m Fine, marks Kyle’s first release since 2019. Produced in collaboration with Parke Cottrell from Colony House, this collection emerged from a season Kyle describes as quiet yet emotionally heavy. These six songs—”Songs On The Radio,” “Always Been You,” “Am I Alone,” “I’m Fine,” “Your Love Won’t Let Me Go,” and “Don’t Give Up On Me“—were carefully selected from years spent quietly writing, reflecting, and processing life’s complexities.
Parke Cottrell’s influence shaped the EP’s sound, aligning with Kyle’s vision of unhurried authenticity. Stephen Gause, responsible for mixing and mastering, added final touches that polished each track, while Rachel Webb’s photography beautifully complements the EP’s tone, visually capturing the essence of Kyle’s heartfelt songwriting.
Music That Feels Like Life
At the heart of Kyle’s music is a delicate balance between spoken words and hidden feelings—the subtle truths lingering beneath what we openly admit. These songs aren’t loud statements but quiet revelations, gently urging listeners to acknowledge their own quiet struggles. Kyle’s honest approach invites listeners to sit with the music, allowing melodies and lyrics to resonate naturally.
What makes I’m Fine impactful is precisely this understated honesty. The EP provides comfort, understanding, and a sense of community, reassuring listeners they’re not alone. Each track is an invitation to pause, reflect, and connect—something desperately needed in today’s fast-paced, often overwhelming world.
Available now on Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music, Kyle Tallman’s I’m Fine is more than just an EP. It’s an expression of vulnerability, a quiet conversation starter, and, above all, an opportunity for listeners to feel seen. Kyle Tallman’s commitment to authenticity continues to set him apart, making each release eagerly anticipated and deeply valued by his listeners. This EP reminds everyone who listens that it’s okay to feel—and sometimes, saying “I’m fine” is just the beginning of an honest conversation.
We had the privilege of interviewing Kyle Tallman. Here are excerpts from the interview.
Hi Kyle, It’s great to have you with us today! Please share about yourself with our readers.
Hi, I’m a songwriter, husband, and dad based in Tennessee. I’ve worn a lot of creative hats over the years, but music has always been the place I go to process what I can’t quite put into words. I write songs that live in the tension between what we say and what we actually feel — the quiet stuff under the surface.
Please tell us about your latest EP.
My new EP is titled ‘I’m Fine.’ It has six songs I wrote during a season that felt quiet and heavy. I recorded them with Parke Cottrell from Colony House. He produced the project and helped shape the sound in a way that felt right. Stephen Gause handled the mix and master, and Rachel Webb provided the photography. This is my first release since 2019. Not because I stopped writing but because I’ve been quietly collecting songs in the background. These are the ones I finally felt ready to share.
Please share your journey with our readers.
I grew up in the Southeast and started writing songs as a teenager, mostly to make sense of what I was feeling. Somewhere along the way, I also grew a deep desire to help people connect the dots about God. Music became the way I tried to do that. Even when I wasn’t releasing anything, I kept writing. Quietly. Patiently. This EP came from years of doing the work in the background. Letting the songs take their time. Letting life shape them.
What are the strategies that helped you become successful in your journey?
For me, it’s been about consistency and collaboration. I try to keep writing even when I don’t feel inspired. That discipline matters. So does working with people who bring out the best in you. I’ve also learned to stop aiming for perfection and focus on telling the truth. The music connects when I’m not trying too hard to prove anything.
Any message for our readers?
If you’ve been holding onto something creative, maybe it’s time to let it out. Your work doesn’t have to be loud to matter. And you don’t have to be famous for it to mean something to someone.
Thank you so much, Kyle, for giving us your precious time! We wish you all the best for your journey ahead!
