Tropez ‘Thinkin Bout You’ – out now!
Multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and all-around creative powerhouse Tropez is back—and he’s here to turn your ears and eyes upside down in the best way possible. His latest single, ‘Thinkin Bout You’, isn’t just a song; it’s a multidimensional experience that combines lush sounds, sci-fi intrigue, and jaw-dropping visuals. Directed by the brilliant Christopher Hill, the music video for the track takes us on a trip that feels like a love letter to the future—and to some of pop culture’s most mind-bending sci-fi moments.
Tropez has always been an artist who refuses to be boxed in, and ‘Thinkin Bout You’ is a perfect showcase of his eclectic musical DNA. With hints of synth-wave, R&B, funk, and disco, the track is like an audiophile’s dream cocktail—equal parts smooth, groovy, and absolutely infectious. Co-produced and mixed by none other than GRAMMY-winning producer Ben Allen III (yes, the genius behind hits from Animal Collective and Gnarls Barkley), the single delivers a polished yet soulful indie-pop vibe.
The soundscape feels both retro and futuristic, pulling you in with funky basslines and shimmering synths while transporting you to a cybernetic love story straight out of a sci-fi blockbuster. Think Purple Rain meets Black Mirror, and you’re halfway there.
What makes ‘Thinkin Bout You’ more than just another funky indie-pop jam is its intriguing concept. Drawing inspiration from The Matrix and Black Mirror’s “San Junipero,” the song dives into the tantalizing (and slightly eerie) idea of uploading someone’s consciousness into your own personal virtual reality.
Tropez doesn’t just dabble in this theme; he fully commits to it, weaving an air of longing and technological wonder into the lyrics and melodies. It’s a song that feels both deeply emotional and intellectually stimulating, raising questions about the nature of love and memory in a world where the lines between reality and simulation are increasingly blurred.
Christopher Hill’s direction takes the song’s sci-fi narrative and cranks it up to eleven. The music video for Thinkin Bout You is a visual masterpiece, seamlessly blending organic and synthetic elements to create a world that’s as haunting as it is beautiful. With moody neon lights, futuristic costumes, and slick, otherworldly effects, the video feels like a cross between a high-fashion cyberpunk dream and a retro-futuristic romance.
It’s not just eye candy, though. Hill masterfully captures the emotional core of the song—love, loss, and longing in a tech-dominated future. The imagery feels nostalgic yet ahead of its time, mirroring the track’s musical blend of past and future influences.
‘Thinkin Bout You’ is just the beginning. As a teaser for Tropez’s upcoming album, it sets the bar sky-high, promising a collection of genre-blending tracks that push boundaries both sonically and thematically. With Ben Allen III in his corner, it’s clear that Tropez is gearing up for something groundbreaking.
Whether you’re a fan of indie-pop, a lover of funk and disco, or a sci-fi geek with a penchant for futuristic aesthetics, ‘Thinkin Bout You’ has something for you. It’s a track—and a video—that demands your attention and rewards it tenfold.
So, plug in, press play, and let Tropez and Christopher Hill take you on a journey where love meets technology, and music transcends time. ‘Thinkin Bout You’ isn’t just a song; it’s an experience—and one you won’t soon forget.
