Free Music Review: TobyMac - Tonight (4.5/5)
Hit: 5 Stars
Catchy beats, heartfelt and uplifting lyrics, and a diverse collection of songs is the best way to describe Tonight. Toby has experimented with hip hop, R&B, funk, soul, rock, and pop, and he has pulled off all of these genres like a pro in every album he puts out. It is clear that Toby has once again put his heart and soul into each of the songs found on Tonight.
The album kicks off with the self titled song which boasts guest vocals from John Cooper of Skillet. I'm amazed how well Cooper's raspy and urgent voice fits into this song. It's a rock song in every sense of the word with a great beat, great guitar work, and a chorus that is guaranteed to be stuck in your head. Get Back Up is a catchy pop/rock song with a positive message that is encouraging to anyone who has ever fallen on their face.
Possibly the greatest "ballad" Toby has written since becoming a solo artist, City On Our Knees is borderline epic. "Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave. Tonight's the night, for the sinners and the saints, two worlds collide, in a beautiful display. It's our love tonight, when we step across the line, we can sail across the sea, to a city with one King, a city on our knees." This is a perfect example of some of TobyMac's skills as a songwriter.
Showstopper is one of the highlights of the album, and it might even be my favorite TobyMac song. It's extremely catchy, nice drums, guitars, and is sure to get the crowd moving. I could easily see this song being Toby's opening song at his shows.
LoudNClear is a song by Toby's son Truett who goes by the artist persona TruDog. He has appeared on every studio album, including the two remixes, and it might be time to break that tradition. Truett's raps used to be cute and amusing, but on this release, it is no longer cute, and just seems out of place. This song is the only song that makes you reach for the skip button after multiple listens.
Hey Devil is the second highlight of the album. It's a funky rock song that has a great dance beat. It is the first and only song off the album that can't be compared to another TobyMac song. Wonderin', although one of the weaker songs off the album, is still a fun listen. It has a poppy chorus with rapped bridges. Matthew Thiessen of Relient K makes a guest appearance, but you really wouldn't know unless you were listening for his voice. He fills the role of background vocals nicely, but I feel like he should have had a more important part in the song.
Start Somewhere is definitely a highlight. It's a diverse song in itself, and very hard to classify. It has some orchestration, clapping, gunshots, some jazz, and for some reason I get a subtle Latino vibe to the whole song, especially at the end of the song. Does anyone else get that vibe? Break Open The Sky, is a good R&B song in itself, but Toby is known to go out with a bang. Break Open The Sky doesn't have the same effect as a closer as the DC Talk reuniting song Atmosphere [Remix], or anti-materialistic Lose My Soul.
This is a truly enjoyable collection of songs that has a great replay value. Toby has once again created an amazing album. He continues to put out fun, catchy, and uplifting songs with clever and honest lyrics. My only hope is that we don't have to wait another three years for another full length studio release.
