Sleepy Tom, the Vancouver-based producer known for his infectious dance floor anthems and his collaborations with Diplo and Anna Lunoe, has delighted listeners with his new release "Fallin'."
It is an energetic pop rhythm that will surely make many people dance. To achieve it, Sleepy Tom (real name Cam Tatham) teamed up with co-writer Dacey and managed to create a fun sound that encapsulates seductive lyrics that exude a thirst for love.
“Before leaving music camp in the wilderness of British Columbia, Dacey and I vowed to write a song together. Months later, "Fallin'" was born in my second-bedroom studio.” – Sleepy Tom
The lyrics of "Fallin'" explore the story of an undeniable attraction mixed with insecurities. The chorus keeps the chords of the hard-hitting pop productions and adds a sense of urgency that reflects the nervous energy of the lyrics.
“I know this ain’t lust I’m gonna know just how you taste to feel real And I know, and I know I could be a bit selfish But what am I to do without ya”
"Fallin'" may not be the typical Sleepy Tom song you'll hear on a club dance floor, but it shows the producer's versatility and his ability to create a compelling narrative through music.
The vulnerability he shows here hints at a deeper side that could lead to exciting new directions for his music. In the words of Sleepy Tom, "It feels like a pure collaboration to me, combining all the elements of our own music––heartfelt melodies, sleek guitar lines, and punchy pop production––to create a unique pop ballad. A song that delights me, even after the 1000th listen”
