Soothing songwriter Tommy Down drops his new single ‘Do You Want It All?’
London multi-instrumentalist, producer, and soulful singer-songwriter Tommy Down unveiled a stunning new single, ‘Do You Want It All?’ on 28 February via Declo Grey. The single premiered with globally renowned tastemaker CLASH Magazine. Tommy Down has worked with renowned producers such as Jeffrey Silverman and Grammy-nominated hitmakers Jon Shave and Jason Pebworth of Invisible Men. He has played at notable events like Camden Rocks Festival, headlined by Frank Turner. Tommy’s romantic, Al Green-inspired soul track, ‘Mrs. Blue’ has garnered over 5.7 million Spotify streams alone, earning him support from the likes of Radio X and Earmilk and a dedicated following which cemented his reputation as a rising talent in soulful music. Notably, Tommy has had six of his songs featured in just as many episodes across all three seasons of HBO’s hit drama series Industry, co-created by his brother Mickey Down.
Tommy Down is a Camden-based musician whose journey began at fourteen, combining influences from jazz, rock, and soul. Tommy has deep musical roots, with his grandfather singing for WWII troops. A former member of the Bristol-based jazz band BUJO that toured Europe, he later returned to London to produce a soul album. Tommy continues to perform across London, blending his rich UK-Ghanain heritage with a passion for storytelling through music. Tommy released his album 21st Century Living in 2020, exploring themes of love, heartbreak, and modern life. Known for his raw, heartfelt performances reminiscent of Paolo Nutini and Tame Impala, he draws inspiration from a wide array of artists including Marvin Gaye, Mazzy Star, RadioHead, Oasis, Blur, David Bowie and Michael Kiwanuka, to name but a few. Now taking the reins and producing his own music and performing live with a backing band, his 2025 EP promises a psychedelic rock and soul fusion inspired by Radiohead and Mitski.
The first offering, ‘Do You Want It All?’, is a dreamy song which will resonate with fans of Mazzy Star, Radiohead and Jeffy Buckley – it also has something for fans of the reverb-soaked contemporary psych-rock of Skinshape and Khruangbin. At its core, the track is a soul-stirring homage to Thom Yorke’s songwriting, with a distinct imprint of Tommy’s signature soulfulness, buoyed by airy guitars contributed by bandmate Tom Herzberg (pictured in the cover art), all drenched in vast reverb. The track is evocatively existential, lifting the listener onto a cloud that allows them to peer down at our world from a new angle.
