Now armed with a growing fanbase and a bigger reach, there’s no stopping Tothapi from taking the local shores by storm with the release of their first official single, “Kutsinta.”
The mellow crossover tune, which was written and produced by the band themselves, explores the beauty of being in a healthy relationship that sees love as more than just a feeling, but a manifestation of commitment and sacrifice.
The seven-piece act explains, “It is basically created through the lens of normal events in our relationships that matter the most: situations in a relationship that make it unknowingly stronger and ties both lovers more. The song also emphasizes how partners got each other’s back,especially at times of vulnerability.”
Totaphi adds, “Our band wanted to produce a pop-style genre that emits good-vibe energy and is love-driven. With this, we wanted our listeners to feel that they were in a state where they were content and happily in love while listening to Kutsinta.”
When asked about some of the recent developments in their career, Tothapi reveals that they’re in the process of writing more songs and performing more shows across the country.
“Future collaborations and new adventures are definitely at the back of our minds,” the promising newcomersshare. “Overall, we hope to keep spreading happy thoughts to our listeners.”
Tothapi’s “Kutsinta” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.
