Nigerian-born, Toronto-based rising hip-hop star TOBi has shared new single "That's Alright," produced by Grammy-nominated beatmaker Sammy SoSo.
Blending textured Afrobeat rhythms with a brassy saxophone and smooth vocals, "That's Alright" comes amidst the creation of the JUNO-winning artist's upcoming next full-length album — the highly anticipated follow-up to 2020's ELEMENTS Vol. 1.
Of the single, TOBi said in a statement:
I was in London earlier this year to watch the Ozwald Boateng fashion show and we decided to stay for a week. I'd been looking forward to getting in the studio with Sammy SoSo after hearing the tunes he made recently. As soon as we made this record, we both looked at each other excited because we knew we had something special. This one felt dope to make — I envisioned this being something my aunties and uncles could enjoy, or friends at a party or wedding. I just wanted some feel-good energy for the summer, we deserve to enjoy life.
The song follows TOBi's recent high-temperature "Too Hot (Maxi Single)" bundle with !llmind and features from Adekunle Gold and Rexx Life Raj, as well as his collaboration with Harrison from earlier this year.
