about

After releasing the lead single ‘Death By Dimitri’ (described as “the wonky love child of Travis Scott” – Jamz Supernova) Tony Njoku releases intense new hiphop collaborative single ‘KILLTONY’ out 12th February alongside his EP of the same name.

Adopting more of that genre-bending aesthetic he is getting known for, ‘KILLTONY’ showcases the artist as one of the more diverse and adventurous artists working today. Taking influence from the trap-inspired hip-hop sound and combining it with a fresh and ethereal sound palette and production gives this new release a distinct and remarkable vision that sees him take his rich sound to a whole new level.

Speaking about the latest single, Tony said, “The title track is about killing ego, facing your shortcomings, owning up to your bad traits, mistakes and wrong doings…. all in an attempt to elicit radical change.”

Tony Njoku is a British-Nigerian electronic music producer and songwriter and in addition to his musical accolades Tony has played widely across Europe, supporting acts including Kokoko!, Gaika, Anna Von Hauswolff, Laura Misch, Puma Blue, IDER and Rival Consoles, appearing at key tastemaker festivals like Green Man, Simple Things, Sonic City and Gilles Peterson’s We Out Here.

Tony says “the EP is a short collection of some songs I began working on during quarantine. They are mainly influenced by modern hip-hop production and also feature the most rap vocal performances in any of my releases yet. The EP showcases another shift in style to add to my growing arsenal. The beats are aggressive, catchy, fun and weird.”

His self-penned and produced songs have been described as ‘strikingly evocative soundscapes, managing to make even the shortest pop songs sound like epic adventures.’

With a sound that is both experimental and delicate, emotional and danceable – like a mad fusion of Sampha and Aphex Twin – Tony is a magnificently talented and versatile artist, performing solo with his unique mix of raw, vulnerable vocals and electronic mastery.

lyrics

I followed Yvonne’s lead, her awkward movements
A formless dance that interprets life oh so well

I can’t seem to shake the darkness
My mind’s wrenched by an impending doom
But still I dance to the songs I’ve sung
Accused of wrongs by some I’ve loved

How can I can about all your judgement, whilst the whole world is ending?
And just like that we’ve all lost control, control!

Every time I reached out, I felt so insecure.

I know that I’m not perfect at all
I’m ok with it we’re all full of shit

How many lies do you tell yourself?
What were things that you had to say?
Why did you care so much?
Oh now you’re giving up?

Hindsight is 2020, a stark year for our generation
Death from a cold, lives torn apart
The worlds at stand still we’re all in the dark
PANIC!!!!!!!

Well we’re here now
Well aware now
There’s no fear now
Only joy now

That’s the strange dance of our reality
