On his most recent single, "Bad Thing," Tony Montana emanates a calm, confident vibe, perfect for late-night drives, couch-potato time, or putting your head down and zoning out with headphones. With a smooth, soul-sampled beat anchored by tight 808s, the Seattle-California-based musician pulls from a decade's worth of musical exploration for a song that's a breezy listen but hits all the right chords.
"Bad Thing" draws you in with a low-key swagger, clever one-liners, and a fierce and self-assured flow. Tony's performance straddles a playfulness and a poise, and it's clear he knows exactly who he is as an artist. His lines land like a cool conversation. This track is polished and purring production, and the soulful loops are tucked behind the rhythm. It's in the balancing act that Tony can keep going between the vibe and the craft.
With 10 years of recording, writing, and playing behind him, Tony Montana carries the horse sense of a seasoned artist, and if "Bad Thing" has any mettle, that's where it shows. Now branching out into producing for other artists, he's here to make hits.
"Bad Thing" is about exuding confidence, being funny and cool when you're cold, sweating and trying to compose yourself, and fitting into whatever you've got going on through the end. It's music made by someone who grasps that not every song needs to holler. Some require only to float. This track type makes you want to hear what Tony Montana's got next and how he's hand-carving his own lane.
