Tonyé's new song, "WHORE," bursts through with a catchy rhythm. It's an agitated pound, and a declaration of liberation that pulses with house and defies you to feel anything more than just the bass. In the heat of a euphoric dance party, "WHORE" hits like a heartbeat, and each synth loop takes the senses to an even deeper realm of sensation. Set to an undercurrent of EDM and an unapologetic message, it's an empowerment anthem about being who you are and showing up, no matter how flashy.
Tonyé flips the story and provides you with a means to reclaim a word that has been used to harm, instead using it as a source of empowerment. The vocals ride the beat with nimbleness, sometimes whispered and intimate, sometimes shouted with club-commanding fervor, and keep the crowd in sync and the tension beautifully taut. This is music for outsiders who become instant insiders the moment they press play. With every beat drop and every chantable hook, Tonyé invites you to eschew shame and dance with impunity, and to revel in the moment.
"WHORE" is a vibe, a message to anyone who doesn't want to accept you for who you are, and an inclusive invitation for all people from all walks of life to join the movement and celebrate who they are, unapologetically. Tonyé makes the case that sometimes the loudest tracks are not necessarily the most vociferous, but the most purposeful. "WHORE" is a must-add to your rotation for dance-pop with teeth and EDM with a message. It's raw, it's real, it's fun, and it's everything you never realized you needed on the dance floor.
