Tommie has a unique sound, that consists of a melting pot of R&B and hip-hop. However to get to this point, he's had to establish his own musical palate to create something that sounds this unique. He found his love for music at 10 years old after his sister gave him an old Bluetooth MP3 player. After this he spent his youth refining his musical palate helping him develop his skills as an artist. ‘Innocence’ is his latest offering and is a sign of things to come.
‘Innocence’ features minimal, but driving drums that are tinged with a vintage sound, reverberating energy around the track. Saxophone and synths melt together providing a divine sound and vibrant canvas for Tommie’s vocals to be put down on top of. His vocal is a stand-out feature and the main signature element of his sound. Raw, emotional and soaked in infectious melodies that narrate his well-penned lyrics.
Speaking about the track, Tommie says: “The problem with putting someone on a pedestal is that it's not sustainable. Humans are flawed and need grace. This song comes from a place of self reflection, accountability and humility. We have a habit of projecting our own issues and insecurities onto others. How can we trust someone to not make mistakes if we know we are making them ourselves and will probably continue to. Knowing that my closet needs rearranging, how am I supposed to believe in yours?”
It’s not very often you hear a new artist’s material that possesses such musical quality, but Tommie has it in abundance. With this in mind and a strong aesthetic, we can’t wait to see where Tommie will take this.
