Tobi’s new album is on the horizon. Along with the release of his latest single “She Loves Me,” the Toronto-based rapper also announced the title of his forthcoming project Panic.
“I wanted to make a song that is warm and celebrated sensuality,” said Tobi in an announcement. “I feel like nowadays people think being toxic is cool, and they should lean into it as if vulnerability is not in style. But truth will never go out of style. I’m just a real lover, I can’t help it, I gotta put that on record, for better or for worse. This song unlocks another dimension to my mind and artistry.”
Vulnerability and warmth will be recurring themes across Panic as Tobi said he approached the new project with a focus on soul music and honest lyrics. Brockhampton member Dom McLennon directed the trailer for the album.
“PANIC is the epitome of unapologetic soul music and we held nothing back on it — something I am truly proud of,” Tobi explained. “From stories of vulnerability and masculinity, to personal family issues and social commentary, there was no stone left unturned here. I can’t wait for the world to consume it in full, and I hope people appreciate the work and energy put into this, because we aimed to raise the artistic ceiling higher than what it currently is.”
Panic is due out on Mar. 30, 2023.
