Tony Njoku shares a brand-new single ‘HAPLESS’ on Silent Kid records. The single opens a new chapter for Tony following on from the critically acclaimed sophomore release ‘H.P.A.C’ in 2018.

HAPLESS’ is an energetic and free flowing track pulling together Tony’s iridescent energy with touches of Young Fathers’ tribal pop and galloping electronica. 

“Through a dark episode of rumination comes the humour. When you’ve faced the cold hard truth and gone through the self-humiliating process of coming to terms with the source of your pain. You find out you put yourself in that ‘sticky situation’ and that you kept yourself in it all along. So rather than beat yourself up about it, you laugh. Laugh at your insecurities and your naivety.” Tony Njoku
 
Tony Njoku is a Nigerian-British artist who has been championed by Giles Peterson, Tom Ravenscroft, Huw Stephens and has performed with Anna Von Hausswolf, Rival Consoles, Goat Girl, Gaika, Jacques, Ider and Kokoko!

YOUR PSYCHE'S RAINBOW PANORAMA

HAPLESS

London-based, producer, singer and avant-pop auteur TONY NJOKU releases ‘100% 4 BEAUTY’, the initial offering from upcoming EP ‘JUSTINE’. 

This is the British-Nigerian artist’s first release since late-2019’s ‘YOUR PSYCHE’S RAINBOW PANORMA’, which gained the support of Gilles Peterson (and played We Out Here’s first year – 2019), Tom Ravenscroft, Huw Stephens, Jamz Supernova and more.

Part of the fabric of South London’s exonerated music scene through being a component of the Slow Dance collective (who gave an early platform to bands like Black Midi and Sorry) but first and foremost as a musician himself, Tony has shared stages with Anna Von Hausswolff, Rival Consoles, Goat Girl, Gaika, Jacques, Ider, Kokoko!, PVA and Squid. He’s also been recognised by both Cate Le Bon and Shame, earning a spot on their curated line-up for Sonic City 2019. 

Over the last few years, with a catalogue of acclaimed albums published, Tony Njoku has never looked to pigeonhole his sound in any way. This has led him down dark and haunting tunnels of self-discovery, from which he’s emerged with an ableness to articulate quaking spectrums of emotion through songwriting and performance. 

On new single ‘100% 4 BEAUTY’, Tony unearths his self-proclaimed flaws. He administers a dose of a writhing time-signature, and lyrically bares insecurities and lack of self-worth. 

Straddling neo-soul and crippling quarter-life crisis trip-hop, he says, “This is a song about my dedication to self-examination and self-discovery. Unearthing some of my flaws and inner turmoil (lack of courage, low self-esteem, etc), and discovering what gets me going despite that turmoil.
It’s an ode to beauty, to finding your ‘why’.

100% 4 Beauty

After releasing the lead single ‘Death By Dimitri’ (described as “the wonky love child of Travis Scott” – Jamz Supernova) Tony Njoku releases intense new hiphop collaborative single ‘KILLTONY’ out 12th February alongside his EP of the same name.

Adopting more of that genre-bending aesthetic he is getting known for, ‘KILLTONY’ showcases the artist as one of the more diverse and adventurous artists working today. Taking influence from the trap-inspired hip-hop sound and combining it with a fresh and ethereal sound palette and production gives this new release a distinct and remarkable vision that sees him take his rich sound to a whole new level.

Speaking about the latest single, Tony said, “The title track is about killing ego, facing your shortcomings, owning up to your bad traits, mistakes and wrong doings…. all in an attempt to elicit radical change.” 

Tony Njoku is a British-Nigerian electronic music producer and songwriter and in addition to his musical accolades Tony has played widely across Europe, supporting acts including Kokoko!, Gaika, Anna Von Hauswolff, Laura Misch, Puma Blue, IDER and Rival Consoles, appearing at key tastemaker festivals like Green Man, Simple Things, Sonic City and Gilles Peterson’s We Out Here. 

Tony says “the EP is a short collection of some songs I began working on during quarantine. They are mainly influenced by modern hip-hop production and also feature the most rap vocal performances in any of my releases yet. The EP showcases another shift in style to add to my growing arsenal. The beats are aggressive, catchy, fun and weird.”

His self-penned and produced songs have been described as ‘strikingly evocative soundscapes, managing to make even the shortest pop songs sound like epic adventures.’

With a sound that is both experimental and delicate, emotional and danceable – like a mad fusion of Sampha and Aphex Twin – Tony is a magnificently talented and versatile artist, performing solo with his unique mix of raw, vulnerable vocals and electronic mastery.
