Th&o. Returns with the New Sound of Nostalgia on New Single
The South African Artist wants Listeners to Come Along on Musical Journey
‘Lonely? (Come Along)’ Out July 19, 2024
Thando, widely known by his artist name, ‘Th&o’, returns with his latest masterpiece, titled “Lonely? (Come Along)”. Having just released on July 19, the multi-disciplinary producer, singer, and songwriter once again pushes the boundaries of his sound, blending synthpop, electro-funk, contemporary R&B, and new guitars into a unique and captivating track.
“Lonely? (Come Along)” marks the proof of Th&o.’s artistry, as the track is a product of an experiment of blending sounds outside of his previous works. ‘Th&o’. cleverly incorporated guitars into his creative process for the first time. Reflecting on the track, he says “I convinced myself that this project needed to feature guitars, hoping that it would lead to a different way of creating and ultimately a different writing style,” he explains. Th&o. even purchased a Fender Telecaster and a Fender Precision bass, leading to the birth of this innovative track.
The result is an electro-funk/electronic alternative anthem that showcases Th&o.’s versatility and artistic growth. The track opens with a groovy bassline that immediately sets a chill, synthwave tone, layered with shimmering guitars and comforting undertones that add a feeling of introspectiveness and nostalgia. As the song progresses, the crisp guitar riffs interweave with Th&o.’s smooth vocals, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is both fresh and familiar. Adding to the excitement, the track will also feature an accompanying video.
With a rich history of producing and collaborating with acclaimed South African artists, Th&o. continues to solidify his place in the music industry. “Lonely?(Come Along)” is now available on all major streaming platforms, promising to captivate audiences with its innovative sound and heartfelt lyrics.
