Info for Queendom Come



TOKUNBO, the voice of internationally critically acclaimed acoustic soul jazz group Tok Tok Tok steps onto new grounds with her solo debut as 'Queen of Folk Noir' enrapturing the listener from the very start. Celebrating the marriage between her unique voice and dark guitar sounds in sparse arrangements TOKUNBO has assembled a crew of exceptional musicians for her solo debut record 'Queendom Come' and has created an album that oscilates between jazz singer songwriter pop and 60s vintage sounds.

With 13 Tok Tok Tok album releases under her belt, five German Jazz Awards, the French Grand Prix SACEM and world tours taking her from Sao Paolo to the grand stage of Tel Aviv Opera House – the voice that enchanted us with her renditions of Lou Reed's 'Walk on the wild side' and Paul Simon's '50 ways to leave your lover' is now ready to stun with her solo record.

As 'Queen of Folk Noir' the charismatic singer has reinvented herself staying true to her gift of intimate storytelling. For her highly anticipated solo debut TOKUNBO teamed up with exceptional musicians producing a record that delicately paints its landscapes with dark guitar sounds, lo-fi drums and lovingly arranged string ensembles, the perfect backdrop to the singers unmistakable voice.

Touching on stories close to her heart 'Queendom Come' captivates with its carefully crafted blend of dark singer songwriter ambiance and 60s vintage sounds drawing the listener into TOKUNBO's very own world.

The song 'White Noise‘ taken from this milestone album, recently won the UK Songwriting Contest 2018 in the category 'Best Video‘.
