I See Lightning

West London artist Tobi Adey impresses on the mellow, subtle and seamlessly progressive new single ‘I See Lightning’. An artist who fuses genre and textures in a luxurious and visionary way, Tobi has impressed since debut album ‘Balance’. Envisioning musical and narrative amelioration, on I See Lighting, the artist compels through melodic evolution, introspective, thematic songwriting and warm, spacious production. 

On the progressive instrumental, airy synth chords are combined with subtle guitar licks and vocal samples, with deep brooding percussion and a bass line offering some sonic depth. The production is silky; radiating warmth whilst producing a compelling textural landscape. The stunning vocal is highlighted by the sensual harmonic work, that layers well with the instrumental creating a fuller sound. With a wide array of vocals in its short run time, Tobi impresses both singing and rapping, telling an alluring, uplifting metaphorical tale of exploration of self. 

Soulful, eloquent and unpredictable, with a refreshing beat switch, this is easy listening with added emotional depth. What more could you ask more?
