Featured Artist of the Week: Tommy Down
London multi-instrumentalist, producer, and singer-songwriter Tommy Down’s soulful single ‘Mrs Blue’, off his 2024 album 21st Century Living, has garnered over 7.6 million Spotify streams alone, earning him support from renowned publications such as NOTION Magazine, CLASH Magazine, METAL Magazine, and Earmilk, as well as National radio stations Radio X, RTÉ 2XM and NPR Music – and a dedicated following which cemented his reputation as a rising talent in soulful music. Tommy Down has worked with acclaimed producers such as Jeffrey Silverman and Grammy-nominated hitmakers Jon Shave and Jason Pebworth of Invisible Men. He has graced the stages of events like Camden Rocks Festival, headlined by Frank Turner. Notably, Tommy has had six of his songs featured in just as many episodes across all three seasons of HBO’s hit drama series Industry.
Anchored by a stripped-back, Al Green-inspired rhythm section and a delicate, atmospheric organ subtly woven with airy backing vocals, ‘Mrs Blue’ captures the tender ache of longing with a blend of adoration and deep melancholy. Astrality alchemises the track’s soul essence into something that would be a hit on the dance floors of Tomorrowland and Ibiza with fans of Solomun, CamelPhat, and ARTBAT. Tommy Down’s vocals are retained with renewed rhythmic vigor as meticulous melodies and house rhythms allow the potent emotional impact of the song to soar to new heights.
