T.O.N.T.O – “To The Edge”
London artist T.O.N.T.O released her new psychedelic Trip Hop single, “To The Edge” on 4th September 2018. The song was spurred from an idea of a woman being pushed to her very limits – or rather To The Edge. It was developed into an introduction to herself with the support of Producer Nemo (Novacane Studios), who helped her take the track to a new level, whilst still maintaining her initial ideas of surrealism and mystery. It is an incredibly strong debut from an artist whose lyrics combine intimate, soul-searching poetry with bruised vulnerability. Delivered in her seductive, compelling voice. Moreover, T.O.N.T.O has gone above and beyond with the details of this track, building an entire fantasy world through her elaborate YouTube visual that expands upon the song’s already deep lyrical content.
