Sure to be given a prime place on your gym playlist, Born 2 Be Free is an uplifting delight. Inspired by his youngest son, the lyrics are Toby TomTom’s wish for every child in the world: dance if you to dance, pray if you want to pray, love who you want. This is feel-good anthem with a message to boot, and exactly the medicine to prescribe for the 2018 blues.
Channeling a 90s vibe in the vein of cult house bands such as Young Disciples, Toby TomTom borrows musical elements from Hip-Hop, Gospel and Jazz. The resulting sound is a musical patchwork, reflective of his eclectic list of influences: Tupac, Miles Davis, John Denver, Debussy, Bruce Lee! He is also something of a self-taught virtuoso, and he composed, arranged and produced all the included vocals, trumpet, piano, bass, guitar and drums.
The real sticking point of the track is the way in which Toby TomTom is able to distill his very essence of being into just 4:32. Everything about ‘Born 2 Be Free’ is big: big heart, big voice, big lyrics- all mirrors of the big personality of the incomparable Toby TomTom.
