Tom Pointer - Too Much Too Soon (Single)

Tom Pointer is on top form with his new offering ‘Too Much Too Soon’. Produced to perfection with shuffling, stripped down grooves and bouncing drum ticks, Tom’s soulful, soaring vocals ooze passion, delivering jazz-infused melodies and lyrics that explore the overthinking of body language early on in a relationship. Reverberated, atmospheric guitar riffs give the track an expansive sonic realm with a laidback overtone that’ll keep you coming back for more.

‘Too Much Too Soon’ is the first single of 2, part of a 4-track EP to be released in 2022.

Talking about the new track, Tom Pointer shares: “The song was inspired by body language. The small unique mannerisms that slowly become someone’s personal trademark. They can bring us closer together, push us apart or create attraction.

The track was produced by edbl (Ed Black) in his Brixton home studio. I met him on social media when he released a humble beat challenge and I replied with a voice memo and a home recording of the first verse. We began chatting and decided to put together a few demos over a video call. 2 months later, we met in person and in 2 inspiring recording days, we polished 4 tracks.

My love for simplicity and Ed’s passion for beats and surprising rhythm created an effortless groove that neither rushes or holds back the listener. The combination of vocally laid-back verses and choruses full of desperation, present a journey and a window into 2 different sides of the narrative.”
