Only one year after launching his debut album, ‘Coyote’, which did not include its greatest success, ‘Million Dollar Baby’, the singer and rapper of Virginia Tommy Richman is publishing new material. In 2025 he has released two powerful singles, ‘Acting Up’ -which has reissued with the participation of the Raple Sexyy Red- and the recent ‘Miami’.
If the 50 Cent or Nelly hip-hop rhythms guided the sound of ‘acting up’, ‘Miami’ is pure funk to locate at some point between 70, 80 and 90. The thickness of the ‘Miami’ synthesizers would tickle Bruno Mars. Richman’s falsetto, on the other hand, remembers La Roux, in the song of the day for Tuesday.
Tommy Richman builds in ‘Miami’ one of his most sophisticated productions and another potential hit reminiscent of some of the improvements clues of his debut, such as ‘Whitney’. The atmosphere of ‘Miami’ is cosmopolitan and nocturnal (perhaps, like a journey by car through Miami at night), while the mood devoid between hedonism and frustration.
In spite of its vibrant and synthetic sound proposal, ‘Miami’ tells a story of love and vital disenchantment: Tommy sings that “life is a disaster” and that it dealt with some type of “sex addiction”, it is not known whether own or others. Your solution is to close emotionally. “Don’t open the doors, don’t let the bad in,” he sings.
Richman has said that ‘Miami’ “is a song to welcome summer, a animated and fun pop song that expresses the sorrows of feeling insensitive in each romantic situation.” Maybe a phrase like “I don’t want to be prone to suffering”, he lent himself so much to be sung in full lung.
