RHUMBA CLUB Release ‘Reunion’

Since ending TEDDY that same year, Tom has been obsessively listening to WHAM! and Erasure, playing around with congas and synth panflutes, and ripping apart his masculinity. 

This new phase as Rhumba Club has resulted in the gorgeously euphoric and seemingly sun-drenched new track ‘Reunion’. Whilst the panflutes and lilting chorus instantly recall legendary 80s synth tropes, Rhumba Club’s references to Adidas t-shirts and themes of an awkwardly emotional meeting up with an ex give the track the sense it could only be made in 2017. Rhumba Club returns with a soft mastery and melodic elegance of the genre that puts ‘Reunion’ into Dev Hynes’ Blood Orange project territory. Rhumba Club emerges as a genuinely worthy successor. Listen here
