Fresh off announcing an upcoming album ‘Hole Erth’ due for release later this year, Toro y Moi provides his loyal fanbase with another cut from the release in the form of a new single titled ‘Heaven’ which features Kevin Abstract & Lev on collaborative duties for what is a breezy and carefree offering.
Centred around the luscious acoustic guitars and free-flowing melodies, ‘Heaven’ moves in a soothing manner that you find yourself lost within from the second it starts. With the relaxed groove held in the crisp percussion, the release maintains a calming presence throughout its duration and acts like a warm hug with its inviting soundscape on offer.
“As a musician, you’ll occasionally hear stories about these songs the songwriter said, “…Just came out of thin air.” Or they were written in a matter of minutes or hours– they just have a nonchalant magic to them. ‘Heaven’ was just that. It was my first day of the ‘Hole Erth’ sessions at Different Fur in San Francisco. I asked Grace Coleman, the engineer to open a random session from a batch of demos from my studio. Within an hour of opening the session I found myself wrapping a second verse and it occured to me I might have a song worth finishing. It was a moment of literally letting go of these songs and into someone else’s hands (and computer) and taking on the song writer role fully, no thinking about production or the mix and just listening to my thoughts. I ultimately found myself writing about moments of processing and realizing that the journey of the musician is a constant practice, paying attention to one aspect only allows room for something to slip away. How does one make a decision when the options presented are all poetically polarizing?” – Toro y Moi
