Hurtin'
Toulouse
WE SAY
Remember the very first time you heard Crazy by Gnarls Barkley back in the day? Or more recently when The Weeknd dropped Earned It? Well, this astonishing track by New York-based musician Toulouse may be about to give you one of those rare moments when you hear something for the very first time and it stops you in your tracks. With a similar feel and vibe to both of those remarkable songs, this debut release premiered recently on Pigeons & Planes and was written, produced and sung by just one man. He describes himself as a Third Culture Kid; the sort who finds it hard to integrate because they were born in one place, ended up living and working in another country, and therefore feels alien to both. The sound he makes harks back to a soulful nostalgic age, filled with raw emotion and imperfection, but with a uniquely modern twist. He sung in a children’s choir at church and draws from that need to always be performing at the top of your game for these four amazing minutes of music. Immaculately produced, it’s a track that’s intense but restrained in equal measure. A total joy.
