Toby TomTom’s "Sun is Going Down" is a soulful cry for reflection in a world on edge

Toby TomTom gives us something beyond just another single. He provides us with a mirror. His newest release, "Sun is Going Down," is a genre-fluid reflection on the state of the human race, delivered with the kind of emotional honesty that sneaks up and stops you in your tracks.

Written from a place of inner turmoil and outer observation, the track wasn't so much chosen as it was demanded to be released. TomTom shares he had been thinking of songs for his next project, but the state of the world was ringing in his head. That ringing turned into a rhythm, and that rhythm became a lush soundscape. "Sun is Going Down" struts into earshot with a smoky chorus of textures, synths trailing the emotional edge of vocals that seem to span the chasm between a rebel yell and a whispered prayer. The production is intricate yet never overbearing. There is space here for thought, breath, and reflection.

Toby is not one to shy away from discomfort. "Sun is Going Down" Is a song that teeters on the edge of despair and defiance, falling just short of darkness. Instead, it becomes a balm of a quiet anthem for those who won't relinquish hope in the possibility of a better world. It's a ballad for the broken-hearted but who still believe in change.
