Share This Post

Upon my initial dive into Torin Messer’s latest project “Focus”, I found myself swept into a realm of familiar melodies and rhythms. It wasn’t until the fourth track, “Cool With You,” that the sense of nostalgia truly crystallized. The entire album, including “Cool With You,” offers a smooth and effortless listening experience, exuding versatility and authenticity in every beat.

One standout track that captured my attention was “A.W.O.L.” Its anthemic quality and impressive beat selection left a lasting impression, adding depth and dimension to the overall narrative of the album. As the project draws to a close with “What A Day,” the listener is treated to a powerful conclusion, leaving an indelible mark on the musical journey.

“Focus” serves as a poignant tribute to Torin’s late mother, Donitra Tomlin, whose birthday falls on February 11th, 2024—the day of the album’s release. Through 12 carefully crafted songs, Torin unveils a narrative that resonates with listeners on both emotional and introspective levels.

Released as a testament to Torin’s personal and artistic evolution, “Focus” stands as a testament to his commitment to both financial and creative liberation. Each track serves as a chapter in Torin’s life story, inviting listeners to embark on a journey of self-discovery and reflection.

In conclusion, “Focus” is more than just an album—it’s a testament to the power of music to transcend time and space, offering solace and inspiration to all who lend their ears. Torin Messer’s musical odyssey resonates with authenticity and sincerity, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of listeners everywhere.
