“Channeling the smoldering romanticism of Prince and the lo-fi mystery of early Weeknd releases, Richman harnesses the power of his falsetto to narrate a tale of lingering heartbreak” – THE NEW YORK TIMES
Tommy Richman continues adding on to his monumental summer run with the release of his latest single, “WHITNEY” along with an accompanying visualizer –WATCH/LISTEN here. The new song is the second release from Tommy’s heavily anticipated debut album, COYOTE, out September 27th via ISO Supremacy/PULSE Records, and follows his run of sold-out live shows in D.C., New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, as well as his late-night TV debutperformance of “MILLION DOLLAR BABY” on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. “WHITNEY” highlight’s the break-out star’s sonic versatility, coming as a modern-pop anthem that blends R&B, indie, and soul with an irresistibly funky disco-groove and bassline. Alternating between his signature falsetto and a lower-tone cadence, Tommy’s heartfelt vocals masterfully capture his raw emotions over the track’s warm sweeping synth chords and bright analog-synth melodies, delivering another personal and intimate look into the journey that inspired COYOTE. Last month, Tommy gave fans the first glimpse of what to expect from his upcoming album with the release of “THOUGHT YOU WERE THE ONE,”a downtempo heartstring-pulling alt-R&B ballad.
COYOTE comes as Tommy Richman’s debut album following the record-breaking star being signed to fellow DMV-native Brent Faiyaz’s label, ISO Supremacy/PULSE Records. The LP contains songs that began years ago when Tommy was broke and lonely but confident in his art. In early 2024, he finalized these sketches and ideas in the desert. The rugged terrain and big skies inspired Tommy, who sees COYOTE as a thematic follow-up to his 2022 E.P., ALLIGATOR. “I’ve been building up my discography for years. I’m not a one-hit-wonder,” Tommy says —having already proven it so. COYOTE is about artistry and range. After years on the grind, the new album will close out a dominating 2024 and arrives with his first headlining tour.
