South-London based musician TONE has announced the release of the debut album called So I Can See You which will be out on March 4th via Rhythm Section. According to the press release, it was created during the pregnancy and subsequent birth of his daughter. TONE, real name Basil Anthony Harewood, was compelled to capture this significant moment, recording mostly at night, with his new life and old life in mind. The album is less a departure of who he was but an embrace of the future and the new life that arrives with beginning a family.
We already shared the title-track; “Make It Drop” is the new excerpt which features Roxanna Tataei. TONE says: “Musically it’s a nod to westerns and the kind of songs you hear on those soundtracks, the canter of the rhythm and the strings played by Jeremy Jay make it feel kind of Hollywood, a fairytale feeling with a happy ending. Roxanne’s vocals have an operatic intensity which I think reflects the filmic sounds”
