The multi-talented Tomi Thomas is a perpetual dreamer and creator. The Nigerian performer and visual artist continues to astound and amaze with the extended rollout of his latest project. Several genres are represented in his musical expressionism, and his mastery of combining them is beyond artful. Tomi tapped into hip hop for a floss remix of the hit tune «Hopeless Romantic» and is joined by American rapper Wale for an incredible transformation of the track releasing October 28, 2021.
