total tommy has dropped a gritty new alt-rock single 'Butterknife'
total tommy's latest alt-rock single explores the personal cost and artistic challenges of pursuing a career in music.
total tommy has shared new single 'Butterknife', the first since her debut album 'bruises', which arrived at the end of 2024.
"Butterknife was a real breakthrough songwriting moment for me - it's about grappling with feeling selfish for pursuing what can be a really ego-driven artform at times and the strain it puts on relationships," total tommy explains.
"Being a musician sometimes feels like a bit of a 'death wish', because it's literally an all in, live and breathe kinda thing. I love what I do so much, and it made me realise that the moment you start sharing music with the world and it's no longer just for yourself, you have a role to play in not just adding to the noise but doing something constructive with it. So that's really nice to keep in mind now!"
