Toby TomTom’s new song “Sun is Going Down” is a mirror held up to a world on fire, swirled in hip-hop soul, EDM power, and a big helping of trap attitude. Clocking in as a genre-defying anthem of rebellion, this track shines because it bravely stands out.
Propelled by an internal tumult at the state of things, Toby TomTom serves up more than just the beat as you’re handed a protest in motion, a sermon on the dance floor rich with all the passion and raw emotion he’s trying to filter. The song beats with intentional pressure, counterbalancing grim truths with just enough life to keep hope glowing. There’s funk, grit, and rhythmic revolt that allows you to nod your head while opening your eyes.
“Sun is Going Down” is as riveting as its origin story. Looking at five possible songs to release, he couldn’t shake the sense that something bigger needed to be said. And rather than ducking the magnitude of the moment, he embraced it, turning “Sun is Going Down” into an outlet for himself and a moment of shared reflection. The result is a bracing, honest argument that seems like it belongs to all of us.
There’s more to this song than the soundscape, though the intention stands out. In an industry full of trends and formulas, Toby TomTom steps aside from the production line and channels his frustration, resilience, and unyielding hope into a track that demands attention.
