Today, we’re excited to introduce you to Tye David and his debut album, MAKING MOVES. As you’ll hear, the record feels like stepping into a kaleidoscope of sound and soul—a journey where every track is a new shade of emotion, every groove a heartbeat. Blending R&B, funk and pop with effortless charm, David delivers a record that feels like both a confession and a celebration.
Following the enigmatic opener ‘making moves’, the second track ‘troubled heart’ further reaffirms the tone for this tender, vulnerable, and irresistibly danceable album. By the time you reach the album’s mid-point ‘superpowers’, you’re soaring with its message of resilience—a funk-infused reminder that love’s losses can still leave you stronger.
Tye David’s background in musical theatre shines through in his storytelling. Each song feels like a carefully crafted scene, balancing raw emotion with a polished finish. Tracks like ‘sugarluv’ groove with neon-lit swagger, while ‘can’t wait 2’ burns slow, like a secret shared in the quiet hours. His lyrics are candid but poetic, painting pictures of heartbreak, hope, and the quiet magic of finding yourself.
The co-production from Ervin Matthew Harris and Reid Smith adds depth to David’s homegrown sound, layering his tracks with just enough polish to feel radio-ready without losing their intimacy. With MAKING MOVES, Tye David invites us to dance, to heal, and to remember that every step, forwards or backwards, is just part of life’s endless rhythm.
You can also listen to title-track ‘making moves’ in our Shades of Pop playlist.
