Singer-songwriter Just Tommy has released his brand-new single ‘Playing For Likes’. It’s now available to stream on Spotify\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The meaning of the track is loosely based on a life revolving around social media. Social media is a part of so many people’s lives in today’s age and Tommy writes about this role that it plays. Although, the meaning could also apply to other aspects of our lives – making the track relatable to anyone who hears it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tommy says that,<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe concept started with a question: What drives us to share the things we do on social media with our friends, family, followers, strangers, and the world? The choruses are based around a theme where perception isn\u2019t always based in reality, and sometimes there\u2019s more behind what we see in feeds and stories.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The catchy track was produced by the Grammy-Award winning producer\/engineer Chuck Alkazian – who has worked with the likes of Pop Evil, Soundgarden, and Tantric.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can listen to ‘Playing For Likes’ now, and once you’ve done that, head over to Tommy’s socials to let him know what you think! –\u00a0<\/span>Facebook<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>Twitter<\/span><\/a>, and\u00a0<\/span>Instagram<\/span><\/a>.
