RIVER TIBER, “Motives”
“Motives” is the latest song I want to showcase for you from Toronto’s River Tiber, aka multi-talented singer/songwriter/producer Tommy Paxton-Beesley. It comes from River Tiber’s diverse recent album Indigo, and also features such winning songs as “No Talk” (sampled in Drake’s “No Tellin'”), “Acid Test”, and “West” (featuring Daniel Caesar), all of which I’ve written about. Diving deeper into Indigo, it’s a moody album that shifts styles frequently, moving seamlessly from R&B/hip hop, to progressive/experimental electronic rock (“Clarity” featuring Tess Parks), through to rhythmic EDM like “Motives”. “Motives” will resonate in clubs because of its full sound, playful effects, and rich harmonies. Tommy’s voice is always his secret weapon and it’s one of his best performances in Indigo. Check it out at the Spotify link above and pick up Indigo on any major digital platform.
