Thando, known to fans as Th&o., has once again made waves in the music scene with his fresh single, "Lonely? (Come Along)". Having just dropped on July 19, this track highlights Th&o.'s remarkable prowess as a producer, singer, and songwriter. He’s made himself known for his eclectic mix of genres, and with this release, he’s taken things up a notch by blending synthpop, electro-funk, and contemporary R&B, while also introducing guitars into his soundscape.
Th&o. has cleverly woven guitars into his production, a choice that has significantly shaped the track’s distinct sound. Reflecting on this new direction, Th&o. said, "I convinced myself that this project needed to feature guitars, hoping that it would lead to a different way of creating and ultimately a different writing style." To bring this vision to life, he bought a Fender Telecaster and a Fender Precision bass, which have become integral to the song’s creation. These guitars add a new layer to Th&o.'s music, blending effortlessly with his signature electronic beats and smooth vocals.
The outcome is an electro-funk/electronic alternative anthem that stands out in today’s music scene. "Lonely? (Come Along)" features sharp guitar riffs that intertwine with Th&o.'s silky vocals, crafting a rich, multi-layered sound that is both innovative and deeply captivating. The song’s detailed production and heartfelt lyrics invite listeners on a journey of introspection and connection. An accompanying video is set to further enhance the track’s story and visual appeal.
