Emerging from Brisbane’s vibrant music scene comes the debut studio release from Tommy Sexton – a soulful disco track titled ‘START AGAIN’. Alongside the dazzling debut comes a bonus B-side , the equally magnificent ‘LA LA LA!’

Described as the sonic lovechild of Stevie Wonder and Steely Dan, Tommy Sexton pulls from genres of “soul, disco funk, and post-apocalyptic yacht-rock" , resulting in a musical creation so wild and wonderful in its nature; smooth as butter and sweet as honey. Drawing inspiration from the likes of neo-soul icon D’angelo, jazz masters like Herbie Hancock, disco legends Earth Wind and Fire, to rock stars like Toto, the range of Tommy Sexton is nothing short of a marvel.

A bright, colourful, dancefloor-filler of a disco track, ‘START AGAIN’ evokes the euphoric feeling of coming back from the brink, using the metaphor of a heart attack victim who needs ‘A sudden current to the heart to make it start again’. On the beginnings of the single, Tommy Sexton said:

“It started as a spark of inspiration while I was washing the dishes. It was a process of uncovering what was inside my head, forming words to a melody that I found myself humming and trying to decipher and build on their meaning. To me it’s about renewal, finding inspiration - the light at the end of the tunnel. As it took shape musically it gave a ‘dance your troubles away’ feel to the music which matches the theme."
