It’s now official TobyMac’s fourth studio project called “Tonight” will drop on your digital media device on February 9th. I mean come on it’s almost 2010 who buys CD’s anymore right? This is definitely one of the most anticipated new projects in 2010 and it started getting it’s traction here in 2009 with his current hit single, “City On Our Knees.” This song has been the fastest charting and selling track of toby’s career. The song has already sold over 133,000 copies and has hit #1 on the top 100 Hot Digital Tracks chart as well as on the Billboard Top Singles chart. In addition, it held the #1 spot on both the National Christian Audience chart for 9 weeks as well as SoundScan’s Christian Digital Track chart for eleven weeks.
Produced by TobyMac along with Chris Stevens (Portable Sounds), Jamie Moore (Ayiesha Smith, Stephanie Woods) and Dave Wyatt (a.k.a. “D-dub) also his musical director, TobyMac has spent the last two and a half years creating every track on “Tonight.” It was a recording process that he didn’t take lightly…
The recording process means a lot to me, and I don’t approach what I do haphazardly. I have a lot of passion when it comes to my records. I don’t know if it’s good or bad, but there’s this range of emotions that come with making a record. Music is something that can actually open people’s minds to who God is. Music will never change the world, but God can choose to use music, and that’s what I count on. I want my songs to be said in a way that anyone can relate to them. I want them to move people’s lives forward; move people toward God, and if I’m accomplishing that, whether or not anyone loves this record, as long as I feel like that is what I’m doing, then I feel like my job is done.
As with previous tobyMac projects this too will features special guest collaborations and a diversity of musical styles. The title track brings in John Cooper of Skillet, while “Wonderin’” features Matthew Thiessen of Relient K.. A true highlight, and one of the most anticipated moments is with TruDog, TobyMac’s 10 year old son Truett’s, full song debut with the track “LoudNClear.”
toby is currently on the road on his annual Winter Wonder Slam tour and will announce exciting 2010 tour plans soon. Have you seen this tour yet? If so, make sure to share your concert review in the comment box below.
I like to listen to Toby Mac. I enjoyed his music with DC Talk, while I was still living in Namibia. Then when he went single, I still continued to listen to him.
He has got a track on the new WoW 2010 CD.
