Toni Hill Album Listening Party Tonight at Hidmo

Last night, I was lucky enough to get my hands on Toni Hill's debut solo album, Only Love, and so far I'm highly impressed. She's a talented double threat that has been rapping and singing in Northwest groups for years (Hungry Mob/Sirens Echo/Oldominion) but this new album is both her solo debut, and her soul debut. You won't hear her rapping on Only Love but you will hear lot's of smoothed out R&B/soul music that's perfect for the grown and sexy crowd. If I had to briefly put it in a box, I'd say the album sounds like Jill Scott meets the Jazzyfatnastees with a touch of old school Michel'le thrown in for good measure.

She shows a lot of range as a singer/songwriter on the project and I think people are going to embrace this album when they here it. These days, Hill bounces between Portland (her hometown), Seattle, and New York but currently she's here and having a listening party at Hidmo tonight. She'll be there with the album's producer Amos Miller playing the record in it's entirety and DJ B-Girl Mia will be spinning as well. The listening party starts at 7:30 p.m. and they'll also be debuting a music video for the song, "Rose." If you're a fan of Hill's music, come out and support.
