The Nigerian born, New York based artist reveals new track “Hurtin” taken from his debut EP Extended Plea.
Like previous single "Reach Out", “Hurtin” see’s Toulouse marry haunting vocals with ethereal instrumental arrangements to create a sonic palette that adheres to all the key considerations of nu-soul but with added touches that make the sound firmly his. There’s a string section, horn stabs, a blinding guitar solo and some superb vocal runs, I mean, what more do you want?
