New York, NY — Magically connecting both a low-key vibe and high energy, Tomi Thomas delivers an upbeat dancehall/afrobeat track with “Again” and accompanied hot new visual. The vibrant scenery of the singer’s native Nigeria is breathtaking, and the emotion elicited hits a soft spot with the viewer. The video tells a story of consistent love, the kind you can rekindle at any time.
In the opening, the cover art for “Again” is cleverly placed as reading material altered to slip in credits to producer Dalia Dias in one of the early frames. Tomi Thomas stars as a version of himself in the visual, arriving at a house to wave a friendly hello in a familiar scene. A beautiful woman greets him excitedly and joins him for an adventure, she carries a hand-held video recorder ready to capture an open-air drive through the countryside. The lovers dance and frolic joyfully before moving on to the calling of the oceanside. As they approach the water, the filming of the natural beauty amplifies the emotional experience of the couple. They embrace longingly on the shore, and the love between them is contagious.
The release of “Again” provides fans with a taste of more to come with the upcoming summer release of EP Hopeless Romantic. Hit songs “Who Knew” plus “Hopeless Romantic,” the original and the remix version featuring dancehall’s Stylo G, helped bring Tomi’s musical sensibilities to the forefront in the past year, despite the challenges of the times.
