INVOICE - Aiko Tomi (Hiphop) A new feature on this week’s blog, Aiko Tomi joins us with latest record “INVOICE”, a collaboration with Jesse Lucas. The record is a high-energy bop with a slamming beat that at a tight 1:50 never overstays its welcome (though we’d love an extended mix considering how catchy the track is). Subject matter wise, it’s sort of a love letter to other creators, serving as a raw expression of frustration over the fake opportunities and unpaid work that artists often encounter during their come ups. While much more raw, the track gave us all the attitude of M.I.A.’s “Paper Plans”, with “INVOICE” taking a less mid-tempo approach in favor of more of a fire hose to the face. This is one of those tracks you blare in your car when you need to let off some steam. Note - don’t miss the accompanying music video filmed in Toronto’s Chinatown.
