Stunning, impactful and emotive are three words to describe the new single "Javel" from artist collective Toad Murphy. Led by Xandre Borghetti, Toad Murphy began jamming in underground shows around Los Angeles and San Francisco in 2005 and just recently began releasing original music.
With "Javel", Toad Murphy has created a stream of consciousness song all about deep connection and love. The song was created when Borghetti had just found out his best friend proposed to his fiancé. The track is aptly named for the street they lived on in Paris and is a romantic reflection of true love. Lyrics including "if I tell you I love you / would you love me for good / cause I'm in a free fall / but baby it's good / good," show the vulnerability and happiness that often accompanies building a life together with someone. Musically, "Javel" impresses with intricate acoustic guitars, layered warm melodies and dreamy vocals full of yearning. The song blends folk and pop for a lullaby of solace that is ear-pleasing and cathartic.
Toad Murphy is a genre-defying musical collective that has performed rock, folk, Jazz, and electronic music. With more music on the way, we can't wait to hear what is in store from this exciting collaboration. Take a listen to "Javel" now and hold on to true love.
