To one GTB Tonio who has been consistently and relentlessly working hard to make sure his name is always mentioned when we are talking about artists to watch out for, the new joint EP featuring another phenomenally gifted songstress, KVTE feels like emotional, sexual, and cathartic liberation. Here we get the most confident and creatively fulfilled version of GTB Tonio the world has yet encountered. It was beautiful to be free again for the both of them and to express themselves the best way they knew how!
This is not only a creative revelation but something of a personal revolution for GTB with the album amassing tremendous views on popular channels so far. In this 8-track project, GTB and KVTE wear their hearts on their sleeves and delve deep into that toxic, dangerous love that we always want to cling to, even when we know it’s not the right thing to do.
The title track features a catchy beat, and GTB’s voice is expressive, ideal for the genre. He has such a sweet-talking voice that oscillates through the soundscape, exuding such hypnosis. And the way he proficiently strikes a balance creates that R&B and hip hop crossover in this soundtrack. His flows are impeccable, and his vivid storytelling paints pictures and provokes thoughts and imagery.
“Mine 4Now” features a mellow guitar intro that lays the groundwork before GTB breathes life into his captivating vocals, ebbing and flowing with such smooth fluidity like butter, before KVTE serenades the listener with her breathtakingly beautiful and haunting voice. This is a collaborative tour de force; I also love how they come together and blend their beautiful voices together to authenticate an earworm.
Already with more than 126K Spotify streams, it is safe to say the song “Wait No More” is a fan favorite, and why shouldn’t it be? This is a straight banger and ear candy that is guaranteed to take up residence in a listener’s brain long after they are not listening to it. The tune is brimming with infectious hooks, impeccably phrased lyrics, and first-class execution.
This song explores a familiar situation where people in a toxic relationship are trying to resuscitate what is seemingly dead without reluctantly accepting that maybe the relationship is too gone to save; the ship has already sunk. The beat here is hypnotic, and both the artists bounce off one another, with their vocal performances and cadence complementing each other perfectly. This track is also a vivid blend of storytelling and poetic finesse, guaranteed to leave a lasting impression on the listener.
“The Dumbest Shit” sees the lady of the hour, KVTE deliver a heartwarming and soul-stirring vocal tour de force with her gracious, crystal-clear voice that is just as powerful as it is gentle.
In its entirety, “Mine 4Ever” is the coming of age for GTB Tonio and marks a significant milestone in his trail-blazing musical career. This is also a celebration of their artistic excellence. They exude such indestructible chemistry…it’s like a musical duo with decades of working together or something—that’s how you know magic was sparked when they got into that studio!
