Tommy Down just dropped his captivating Live Studio Sessions video for ‘Do You Want It All?’ on June 6, 2025, filmed at The Crypt Studio in North London. The lead single from his forthcoming EP, set to release later this year, builds on the momentum of ‘Mrs Blue’ from his 2024 album 21st Century Living, which has clocked over 5.7 million Spotify streams. With endorsements from CLASH Magazine, NOTION, Earmilk, Radio X, RTÉ 2XM, and NPR, the Camden-based artist has solidified his place in soulful psych rock. Drawing from his UK-Ghanaian roots and influences like Marvin Gaye, Radiohead, and Tame Impala, Tommy’s music resonates deeply, with six tracks featured across HBO’s Industry, co-created by his brother Mickey Down. Having performed at Camden Rocks Festival and collaborated with producers like Jon Shave, Jason Pebworth, and Jeffrey Silverman, his rise as a dynamic storyteller continues.
Live sessions like this one are vital for artists like Tommy Down, stripping music to its rawest form and forging a direct connection with listeners. The Louid Hudd-directed video showcases Tommy with his band—Aarron Dolby on bass, Tom Wardle on guitar, and Jack Purbrick on drums—in a stark, black-and-white performance. The track’s dreamy psych rock vibe, with its crisp vocals and layered guitar, bass, and drum interplay, shines in this unpolished setting. Tommy’s own words reveal the song’s depth: “The song draws from some Radiohead tracks like ‘Creep’ but with a shoegazery spin to it. Mazzy Star is also an inspiration. The lyrics are about maintaining your soul and morals in your pursuit to gaining all your worldly possessions and acclaim.”
The monochrome visuals and intimate behind-the-scenes feel of the video pull viewers into Tommy Down’s world, where every note and lyric lands with purpose. His ability to blend Radiohead’s brooding intensity with Mazzy Star’s ethereal haze makes ‘Do You Want It All?’ a standout. The live session format elevates this, showcasing his vocal warmth and the band’s tight chemistry. With his EP on the horizon, Tommy’s fusion of soul and psych rock feels fresher than ever, proving he’s an artist to watch.
