Gloucester-based, rising star Tommie has released an infectious offering entitled “Innocence.” Tommie presents an R&B, hip-hop and pop tinged sound that is designed to get you out of your seat. “Innocence” features minimal but effective drums that nod proudly to the 90s. Saxophone and synth lines ebb and flow between each other providing a vibrant canvas that allows for his soft, but raw and emotional vocals to dance on top.
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.
