Toi: Waves (2024)
Out of the capital and paddling a similarly popular reggae-soul waka as Fat Freddy’s Drop and others, first impressions may be that the sophisticated sound of Toi is crafted for the summer vibe with positive messages (“never give up on yourself”), sultry soul and not much more. But as this album rolls out there’s certainly more going on and in places a very classy, mellow LA cool jazz vibe. Boxes are ticked for sure, but some new ones added.
