Brand new single from Tom Tippin

Nashville native Tom Tippin has spent his entire life immersed in music and the sonic arts. Brought up in a musically rich environment, his father is the platinum-selling artist Aaron Tippin, and Tom’s journey in the industry started almost at birth, performing alongside his dad in front of thousands.

By the age of sixteen, he was already throwing himself into the creative epicentre of Nashville, collaborating with various writers on the iconic Music Row. While country music initially informed his direction and ignited his creative spark, his mother introduced him to a diverse range of artists and styles, adding pop and rock elements to his creative vision.

While the wild success of his father’s music career is certainly a tough act to follow, Tom Tippin has been making a name for himself entirely on his own merits. In 2019, he first shared his original sound with his debut EP Teenage Heart, followed by a string of impressive singles leading up to his 2022 sophomore EP Wasted Melodies. After a brief hiatus from releasing music, this year he’s made an emphatic return with fresh material. He opened the next chapter of his musical journey with the single “Nepo Baby,” reflecting on his unique upbringing with his father as a revered musician, and followed it up last month with the track “Air Quality.”

Now, Tom Tippin brings us his latest release with the brand new single titled “In My Head.” This 80s-inspired, guitar-heavy alternative pop ballad dives straight into Tom’s psyche, addressing the anxiety and overthinking that impacts his mind. The song is Tom’s own therapeutic way of accepting the way he overanalyses people’s perspectives of him and realising that friends aren’t out to get you, but rather, it’s just anxiety creeping in in a self-sabotage scenario.

Gently slipping into the song with the soft patter of percussive shots, bright guitar strums underpin his emotive vocal leads as he spins emotive, confessional lyricism. Raising the arrangement with bold drum strikes and airy guitar textures, the chorus presents a lofty moment of musical bliss followed by the piquant dash of synth tones.

Flowing with colourful synth touches and driven by the mellow punch of drums, the guitar arrangement forms a stunning sound that channels an 80s aesthetic filtered through Tom Tippin’s thoroughly modern sonic lens. With another sensational display of his songwriting talent and stellar performance panache, “In My Head” sees Tom Tippin continue his return to releasing engaging music with bags of commercial appeal.
