Tommy Richman might not be a one<\/del> two hit wonder, after all.<\/p>\n

The Virginia-bred singer, who is signed to Brent Faiyaz\u2018s ISO Supremacy label, was one of 2024\u2019s biggest breakout acts thanks to the one-two combo of \u201cMillion Dollar Baby\u201d<\/a> and \u201cDevil Is a Lie,\u201d<\/a> the first of which reached number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.<\/p>\n

Richman failed to replicate that success on the albums chart, though. His debut LP Coyote<\/a><\/em> (which, curiously, did not include the aforementioned hits) didn\u2019t even dent the Billboard 200 following its release in September, and he\u2019s been relatively quiet ever since.<\/p>\n

But any notion of him fading away into obscurity might be misguided as it app<\/a>ears the 24-year-old is gearing up to unleash another heater.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday (January 30), Tommy ended his social media<\/a> silence by sharing a snippet of a brand new track which appears to be called \u201cActin Up.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first thing about the song that jumps out is the beat: a sparse speaker-knocker that borrows almost identical steelpan drums to those used on Soulja Boy\u2018s \u201cCrank That\u201d and also features sinister piano chords, thudding 808s and Mannie Fresh cowbells.<\/p>\n

If that alone doesn\u2019t scream \u201cparty starter,\u201d then Tommy Richman all but seals the deal by floating over the beat with his Bee Gees-esque falsetto, finding an infectious pocket with his high-low flow.<\/p>\n

Lyrically, it\u2019s a potent mix of a-middle-finger-to-the-haters (\u201cI said I\u2019m sick and tired, all these people sayin\u2019 names\u201d<\/em>), trying to find true love (\u201cI gotta stay alive for my fuckin\u2019 soulmate\u201d<\/em>) and dancefloor commands to the ladies that would make Juvenile proud (\u201cBend it over, break it down, back it up\u201d<\/em>).<\/p>\n
