The Twilite Tone's latest single "Taxi Cab Confessions" gets a cinematic interpretation. Filmed in his hometown of Chicago, Tone plays the role of a cab driver whose patience and presence helps comfort a passenger.
Tone says about "Taxi Cab Confessions": "This song scores the journey of a 'passenger' leaving a place that is not in alignment with what he or she really wants in life...it gives them the space to express themselves authentically allowing them to continue to head 'uptown' - a metaphor for their higher self and ultimately, their place of clarity." For his debut album The Clearing, Tone showcases a sound that he describes as "trans-genre" - a mixture of house, electronic funk, and instrumental hip-hop that continues Stones Throw's beatmaker legacy - informed by the musical history and spirit of his hometown. Tone explains, it was "the evolution of the Chicago dance music scene, as well as the evolution of underground hip-hop here, that pushed me to seek, find and ultimately create the perfect beats, rhymes, style and life around who I am authentically," he says. Though Chicago is "often segregated geographically and mentally, it still finds a way to be harmonious, making it a special place to be."Watch the video here:
