Synth Pop from T-FINNY

New York-based artist T-FINNY is a newcomer singer-songwriter and producer who flutters across diverse landscapes of pop, R&B and electronic music. Following a two-year hiatus, during which he collaborated with artists and musicians from around the world, he’s reinvented his sound and embarked on a personal and creative adventure.

T-FINNY’s story is unique, marked by his transition from being a collegiate and professional athlete to pursuing his lifelong passion for music. In the past year, he’s dedicated himself to developing his sonic vision, resulting in a growing catalogue of music that’s won over fans and tastemakers around the world.

After starting the year with the single “Rinse Recycle Repeat,” T-FINNY has been on a roll, delighting fans with a series of well-received releases, including a remix of “Sing U 2 Sleep” by illgorythmz and an EP collaboration with Mixtape Seoul. His latest release, the brand new single titled “Dancing in the Dark,” is a powerful and emotionally charged song about unrequited true love.

With the new self-produced single, T-FINNY lays down a smooth synth pop sound full of delicate rhythm and wrapped in a dreamy aesthetic. Opened by the gentle hum of synths as a shaker holds a steady rhythm, the snap of an electronic beat enters with the artist’s elegant vocals, crafting an intimate sound that gradually builds up with the pulse of a bass synth and shine of side-chained textures.

Serving up an instantly catchy chorus of silky vocal leads and echoes of backing voices, underpinned by a bouncy groove of bass synth stabs and shuffling drums, it’s a playful sound that pulls you in where the poignant lyrics spin a sombre tale among the upbeat sound. It perfectly captures the pain and confusion of still loving someone who has moved on via raw and authentic lyricism.

“Dancing in the Dark” is another stunning showcase of his production skill and songwriting panache while also revealing his knack for crafting music that’s at once catchy and meaningful. As T-FINNY approaches the two-year mark since retiring from professional sports, he shows no signs of slowing down with big plans for 2024.
