On his debut album "THE RUSH," Australian singer-songwriter Tommy Richman establishes himself as a fresh new voice in alternative R&B with his gorgeously crafted pop songs.
Across 5 tracks, Richman lays bare his strengths as an emotive vocalist and polished melodist. Songs like "can't sleep" and "better version" highlight his breathtaking upper register over lush, intimate productions.
Production comes courtesy of longtime collaborator Joe LaPorta alongside talented newcomers like Che Britz and SG Lewis. Their airy beats served as the perfect backdrop for Richman's confessional lyricism.
Standouts include the cinematic "the rush," funk-tinged "late nights" featuring Ruel and tidal wave of emotions on single "physical." Richman proves himself a shape-shifting artist across genres.
While touching on familiar coming-of-age themes, Richman delivers them with a rare sincerity and nuance that resonates across generations. His warm timbre and songcraft enables instant connection even on first listen.
With "THE RUSH," Tommy Richman delivers an arrestingly intimate debut that marks the introduction of one of alternative R&B's most compelling new voices; one destined for wider recognition.
