Toby Sebastian – announces new album ‘Eyes Light Up’ also releases  brand new single and album opener ‘Let’s Pretend’

Acclaimed British musician and actor Toby Sebastian has announced his new album Eyes Light Up for release on April 4th 2025.
 
Marking the announcement Toby has released the brand new single and album opener ‘Let’s Pretend’. The delicate indie ballad from the singer songwriter is a poignant ode to the bittersweet reality of falling in love during challenging times. Inspired by the turbulence of current world events, the track taps into a universal longing for connection.
 
Regarding the single Toby says, “It’s essentially a love song about escaping with your lover from the reality and uncertainly of the world to somewhere else. Dreaming of a moment elsewhere… a moment in time without the everyday noise and chaos of the world.”
 

Continuing about the album Toby says, “This is the album I’ve been yearning to make since I started writing as a kid. It’s taken a couple of musical chapters to achieve a sound that I feel properly represents what I love listening to. I grew up in a household that celebrated music and it played throughout the house daily. My love for 60s and 70s rock came from my dad and my love for soul from my mum.
 
Matty Benbrook and I worked together on my first ever session when I had just left school for a record deal at 17. It feels apt that years later, we’ve ended up making this album. We recorded it over two years in his studio in Bethnal Green and it’s been a joy to make.”
