Can’t Get Enough of Anthonie Tonnon

unnamed-3Pretty sure that this Anthonie Tonnon LP is going to be a secret hit in certain spheres of the world.  It’s like an elevated version of Jens Lekman, which I’m pretty sure everyone found endearing.  The production on his latest single is spot on, letting his voice take the lead, while still giving the instrumentation the proper impact.  This is the sort of pop music that makes me swoon; it’s warm and has this lofty melody that allows my heart to swoon like a giddy school kid. Look for Successor on March 3rd via Wild Kindness.

Playful Pop from Anthonie Tonnon

antonieDon’t you miss bouncing bits of pop music that was perfect by the likes of Jens Lekman? Well, meet Anthonie Tonnon, a New Zealand songwriter who seems to have traded in the country’s beloved guitar pop for catchy piano ballads instead.  I love the careful little changes in inflection that appear in and out of this featured track.  It doesn’t hurt either that the song builds towards the inclusion of a chorus to provide backing vocals while Tonnon’s own voice pleasantly yelps in the foreground.  Look for his album Successor to appear on March 3rd via Wild Kindness.
