River Toussaint is the front woman of the wht.rbbt.obj band. While the femme fatale group is known for their unapologetic and power-hungry alternative rock inclinations, this personal banner is devoted to explore River’s slower, more explorative landscapes. Her sophomore single is ‘Put Down For Love’, a track that lends itself to melancholy in such a beautiful way. It is expressive and expanding, growing into intimate moments and fleshing out the raw, the deep, the innate.
It still forms right in the middle of the alternative style, grinding Amy Whinehouse/ Janis Joplin type vocals with a dark Lana Del Rey soundscape and evocation. Altogether, it stretches across stylistic time, marrying the raw retro blooms with a contemporary twist. The way the track progresses, it chronicles the transformative nature of the theme, of the feeling of willingly changing, giving up and expanding for the sake of love. If you’re in the market for a dark pop track with a cinematic swirl and an orchestral glaze, you’re going to absolutely love this. Listen Now!
The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
