Around this time last year, Nigeria-Canadian singer, TOBi shared his acclaimed debut album, Still, a thirteen track album Billboard described as a journey through the joys and pains of black male vulnerability. Wearing this description as a unique identifier, TOBi rode this wave through the rest of 2019 and even into 2020 on Beige, a heartfelt love ballad. Cascading with this description, he reinforces it on his upcoming deluxe release of Still which he heralds with Holiday.
Holiday’s billowy theme is the tragic story of a fading love he latches onto. Alongside soft jazz melodies and the occasional snare and bass beat, we witness another dimension of Tobi’s black boy joy birthed by intense feelings and delivered perfectly in his perfect vocals which occasionally transcends to Falsetto, the acclaimed range of love.
