Introducing today to those unfamiliar, Toby TomTom is not your everyday artist. He’s a composer, producer, and performer who creates avant-garde and accessibly raw music. He doesn’t just blur genre lines—he bends them into bold new shapes. His work fuses complex rhythmic structures with gripping narratives, pulling from electronic, hip-hop, and soul traditions to deliver something wholly his own. If music is a mirror to the times, then TomTom is the artist holding it steady, daring us to look deeper. Today, we throw light on his recently released song, “Sun is Going Down” which dropped on April 18 this year.
From the moment the track drops, it crashes through the speakers with a fearless collision of EDM’s hypnotic pull and hip-hop’s unfiltered fire. It’s an infectious, genre-defying anthem that doesn’t ask for attention but demands it, immersing you in layers of pulsing synths, rhythmic complexity, and lyrical truth-telling. The song’s opening lines “Sun is going down. What is going round. Floating in a cloud. I don’t know up from down” swirl you into a disoriented emotional vortex. These first few lines don’t just set the tone—they foreshadow the thematic weight of what’s to come: confusion, disillusionment, and the desperate search for clarity in a fractured world.
TomTom’s vocals are a masterclass in controlled emotional delivery. There’s a lyrical finesse in lines like “Reality got me in a tizzy. Raisin in the sun, hunted, feeling dizzy,” drawing a line from classic Black literature to present-day exhaustion. His voice rides the beat with swagger, dips into vulnerability, then punches back with force. Every word is weighted. Every phrase is necessary. Then there’s Daniel Danielson’s spoken word interlude, a perfectly-timed injection of gravity: “They say give peace a chance. yeah…sound like a lie, like a TV romance.” His voice is haunting and deliberate, cutting through the production like a cold wind. It’s not a break from the song—it’s a turning point.
“Sun is Going Down” is carefully produced. Its mesmerizing EDM backbone is woven with trap-style percussion, cinematic synths, and deeply textured basslines. The beats knock with purpose, but it’s the layering that makes it rich: swirling pads, unpredictable kick patterns, and atmospheric drops that stretch and contract like a heartbeat on edge. The track pulses with urgency, even during its more subdued moments.
As the hook resurfaces and the beat builds toward an ecstatic climax, TomTom invites us to “Keep dancin’… fight the lies, let’s dance.” It’s part battle cry, part celebration, and a reminder that joy itself can be revolutionary. There’s fire in the track’s closing seconds as the music and message swell in unison—hope and anger coexisting in electric harmony.
“Sun is Going Down” is a cinematic experience. It’s a protest anthem disguised as a club banger, a poetic outcry wrapped in digital elegance. With Toby TomTom at the helm, this track doesn’t only entertain—it provokes, uplifts, and inspires movement, literally and ideologically. If you want a song that speaks truth while making your speakers sweat, this is it. Toby TomTom has arrived—and he’s not just making music. He’s making moments that matter. This is what the future of genre-fusion sounds like, and Toby TomTom is already miles ahead. Stream it. Feel it. March to it. The sun may be going down—but Toby TomTom is only rising.
