“Sprung in the Summer,” a track recently released by singer/songwriter/producer tobi zoë, is making its vibe felt in the indie-soul and modern R&B sound sphere. The tune is a whirlpool of deep feelings, tucked in the excitement of a simmering summer romance. Each lyric is splashed with enthralling imagery – some of it subtle, some overt – but all of it is perfectly placed to leave the listener wanting more.
With the warm velvet of her voice, tobi zoë draws you into the complex feelings entwined with newfound love. From the opening note, we’re introduced to the ease with which her heart falls for her Romeo, captured beautifully in the lyric, “Loving you is so easy to me/ Got me sprung in the summer/ Your breath is the breeze“.
tobi openly shares the seductive pull of her growing feelings, wrapped succinctly in the lyrics “And I’m addicted/ I’m so hooked on your tongue“. This suggestive line, tracing the carnal attraction and emotional ties that bind her tightly to her sweet thing, creates a stirring picture of this intense love. And she wants him to understand that, despite any odds, she has no intentions of walking away from what they share.
However, zoë doesn’t shy away from the fact that she also wrestles with feelings of uncertainty and impatience. She marches with sass and swagger when she warns her man against making her wait – showing her low tolerance for wishy-washiness. And with crystal clarity, she lets him know that her heart is not a toy when she sings “I don’t play about my heart you knew that from the start.” Simply put, our girl is all in and she wants her man to be too.
“Sprung in the Summer” reflects tobi zoë’s talent in navigating the complexities of love, echoed in her sultry voice and hypnotizing melody. A blend of lo-fi drums, crystalline harp strumming, and beautiful Spanish guitar accents sets a lovely backdrop for this soulful number. The result is a striking portrayal of a summer’s fling—bold, passionate, but vulnerably honest, leaving the listener spellbound long after the final note fades away.
