Tonyé is an artist, actor, writer and director who’s been sharing his well-received creative output over the last two decades. First unveiling his original musical vision back in 2006 with the debut album A Story About Love, over the years he’s delivered an incredible catalogue across multiple singles, EPs and full-length records.

Winning over fans around the world and clocking tens of thousands of spins on Spotify alone, he’s consistently operated as an enduring artist while constantly exploring new sides of his unique musical world. The latest chapter in his sonic story comes with his brand new album titled BathHouse Music, a ten track outing that distils elements of high-octane dance and pop into an engaging release that’s cut with sultry aesthetic while celebrating uncompromising queer freedom.

Kicked off with “CUM – (Front Door),” the punch of the beat and wobble of quiet bass synth builds with a vocal sample count in, gliding into a beat-driven dance jam the rolls with snapping percussive energy and lively synth arrangement. With shifting tones and melodic flickers, the track serves up a gripping dance music experience that’s moody, energising and original all at once, putting Tonyé’s knack for crafting engrossing musical moments on full display.

“Live It Up” follows with the steady punch of drums, buzzy synth textures and smooth vocal samples, launching into a jumping section of booming beats before a soulful voice rings about above the swell of intricate piano backing. Building the energy with tapped hi hats and rolling drums, the track launches into a charging EDM scene that’s exhilarating and instantly catchy.

With “Flower Child (Soft Lights),” the hazy pulse of vocal elements and warm piano chords give way to emotive vocal leads and gentle kick. It’s a stunning showcase of alternative R&B-tinged dance pop brimming with infectious melodic writing and euphoric synth-based arrangement. Other highlights include lead single “CUM (Show & Tell)” which it’s bouncy rhythm and expressive vocals wrapped up in a thrilling soundscape of thumping beats and deep bass textures. Casting an enthralling club sound, it’s an epic track that shakes with pure sonic energy and impactful sound design.

Title track “Bathhouse Music” pairs smokey atmosphere with silky vocal lines which drift through a sea of reverb-drenched instrumentation. With alluring melodies propelled by crisp beats, it’s an absorbing slice of pop-focused dance music that’s sure to light up the airwaves around the world.

Closing the record with “SLIDE,” the jaunty plinks of piano chords and filtered vocal tones slips into a grooving scene of rattling trap style beats capped by dazzling vocal performance. Moving, steamy and memorable in equal measure, it’s a superb finale to perfectly conclude Tonyé’s stellar new full-length album release.
