On his latest release "Play-Doh", Elia Tomé acquaints listeners with an experimental brand of soul music that sounds like the sonic child of Pink Sweat$ and Jai Paul.
Greek-Lebanese songwriter and producer blends the organic with the electronic with his futuristic brand of r&b. Towards the intro "Play-Doh" is decorated with bright yet raw guitar arrangements, underpinned by a groovy rhythm section with drums that pack a punch. During this section, Elia's distant, angelic vocals seamlessly float across the mix and offer a dream-like impression. Almost out of nowhere, Elia's electronic influence seeps into the track's closing moments as he adorns "Play-Doh" with lush soundscapes and a gritty bass line that contrasts all the other elements.
"Play-Doh blends several themes in a way that feels inseparable. There’s a nostalgic undertone, almost like trying to reconnect with a part of myself that was left behind. I wanted the track to feel vulnerable and authentic in that sense, yet still in motion—unfixed"
