LA-based singer-songwriter Tonii has returned with her most electrifying single yet, ‘talk me thru it’. Inspired by the dancefloor rhythms of Kaytranada, the track blends R&B grooves, intricate harmonies, and Tonii’s signature sultry vocals into a flirtatious, sapphic love story designed for late-night crushes and crowded bar glances.
Built on shimmering production from Remdolla and recorded in Tonii’s home studio, ‘talk me thru it’ captures the breathless anticipation of queer longing; a will-they-won’t-they moment reframed through the lens of black lesbian romance. With Tonii rapping on the final verse for the first time, the track shows a bold new side of her artistry that is playful, confident, and ready to own the room.
Having already opened for SerpentwithFeet at Black Pride and performed at the long-running Black Lesbian United Retreat, Tonii continues to craft music that centres black queer joy and radical vulnerability. And ‘talk me thru it’ is a celebration of that queer expression on the dancefloor and beyond.
