It’s an emotion that’s unfortunately much too common in underserved communities around Toronto—communities like the singer-songwriter’s own Regent Park, which in many ways—socially, politically, economically—feels isolated from the rest of the city and the country.

If the pandemic left you pacing at home, more cabin feverish than a caged beast, then here’s a fitting post-lockdown anthem. Aiko Tomi’s “Animal’s Awake” lives up to its title with both prowling synths and percussion that taps like honed talons. The propulsive Toronto alt-pop up-and-comer’s new single follows her recent TD Music Connected Series performance. At […]
