The idea for the track came to fruition with Tom wanting to base the song around old classic movies and the charm that came with them. The upcoming visual for ‘Movie’ is a culmination of old footage from Tom’s grandparents in Germany in the 40’s adding a personal narrative for Tom and his music. The artwork was created by Tom’s mother Carol who has consistently contributed to visuals for his previous releases. The silhouettes of Tom facing himself represent challenging himself to create a new landscape in his different moods and stages of creativity. Woven in with ideas of contour lines and illusion we see one thing, then another, in the same way, that music has its own multi-layered language.

This release sees Tom exploring his songwriting and his own vocals, singing on most of the tracks plus exciting features still to be announced, we get our first preview with the tender vocals featured on ‘Movie’. ‘Geography’ is an exploration of a musical landscape, named after a passion of Tom’s which was never pursued, it dances between genres including Disco, Soul, Hip-Hop and Jazz, a true testament to Tom’s diverse sound and genre fluidity.
