TOM ANTHONY Shares Debut Album ‘LITTLE MORSELS’

Published

on

Describing his sound as ‘rock & roll for grownups’, singer-songwriter Tom Anthony returns with the release of his debut album, Little Morsels.

After a 15-year hiatus, Tom Anthony’s musical itch is being scratched with this forthcoming epic debut album. He found his love for music again during the global pandemic of COVID-19, after picking up a battered old guitar and relearning everything he had forgotten. Soon, he began penning songs and spent the last three years writing and recording, Little Morsels

The genre-blend realms of indie, indie-rock, singer-songwriter, and punk sounds are used throughout the uplifting collection of tracks. There’s a nice combination of energetic punk rock to acoustic ballads fusing electric guitar (Fender Telecaster and Stratocaster), acoustic guitar (Martin OM-21), bass guitar (Sire Marcus Miller), drums, and vocals in the production, all composed and written by Tom Anthony.

In the subject matter of the songs, Tom Anthony took inspiration from the world around him and the things he sees happening today – whether that’s about control and social media, the need to find some space, or resilience and optimism in the face of challenges. 

Musically, he’s been inspired by a whole range of artists, but he thinks the ones that come to the surface the most on this record are Ziggy Stardust-era Bowie, Ryan Adams, The Bends-era Radiohead, Oasis, The Beatles, The National, The Darkness, Jeff Buckley, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, The Smiths, Green Day, Bloc Party, The La’s, and The Strokes.

On the album, Tom Anthony says, “This album will always be very special to me. It’s a document of my return to the thing I love to do, and I’m delighted it actually made it out into the world. It took me years to make, and in a little under 40 minutes, you’ll hear the result of all that work.

As an independent artist, Tom Anthony is excited to share his musical journey with the world, make great records, and put on the best show in town. His songs tell stories of real life, real experiences, and the highs and lows of the world around us, offering hope and a new perspective in a time of pessimism and division. Little Morsels, showcases his music prowess while highlighting his authenticity, passion, and commitment to artistic evolution.

Cupid Pack starts off with the song, “Thunderstruck.” The track is a record that features a wavy beat and Dmillyyy’s smooth flow. The sound is reminiscent of Jaden. The next track, “Balance,” is a fan favorite and for good reason. “Balance” has a bouncy beat that makes listeners want to groove. The record has a Drake feel to it. The catchy hook reels you in immediately. Dmillyyy cleverly sprinkles in some Spanish lyrics, which are a prelude to the third track on the EP. “Q.M. Interludio” follows “Balance.” The Latin Music interlude showcases the versatility that Dmillyyy possesses. The penultimate track, “WYGD,” is a downtempo, love song that is enchanting. The tune has a sample that blends well with the theme of the song. “WYGD” sets up the EP’s closer as “Madness” is another slow jam. “Madness” is the perfect finale. The sensual track embodies passion and love.

The EP’s introspective/extrospective take on love provides all listeners with songs that resonate with them. Although each song has its own flavor and unique sound, they still connect and carry a cohesive message. “Cupid Pack is an image painted to describe different emotions that may arise for particular love interests.” Dmillyyy continues: “Sometimes it isn’t that serious and just the feeling that you want to cherish. Sometimes the other’s existence makes you want to question everything and reflect back on your own life. Either way, both parties are living in the moment and letting that lead the way.” Cupid Pack is only the beginning as Dmillyyy has much in store for the year. While waiting for his next masterpiece, be sure to show love to the immaculate EP that is Cupid Pack.
