total tommy releases Pretty Little Mouth, her first drop in a year, marking a reset for the Australia-based artist. The track moves quickly, mirroring the emotional pace it captures, falling hard, then collapsing just as fast.
‘Pretty Little Mouth’ is a play on the saying ‘butter wouldn’t melt’. I wrote the line ‘smoke wouldn’t leak from her pretty little mouth’ in reference to a love-bomber. It’s about falling easily but ultimately getting hurt just as quickly when you get spat back out. This happened to a friend of mine recently, and this song is my dead-pan, not so serious take on it all.
Out now via Play It Again Sam, co-produced with Tom Stafford in London, the record holds a tight, direct structure; no excess, no overbuild. The tone stays controlled, letting the concept carry rather than pushing for drama.
This marks the start of a new phase for total tommy, with more releases expected as the rollout continues.
