total tommy – has shared the new single ‘Butterknife’

total tommy today releases her first new music since her critically acclaimed debut album album, bruises,released at the end of 2024. New single Butterknife is a breakthrough moment for total tommy—gritty, guitar-driven alt-rock that dives into the tension between ego, purpose, and the toll of chasing an all-consuming dream.

On Butterknife, total tommy says

“Butterknife was a real breakthrough songwriting moment for me – it’s about grappling with feeling selfish for pursuing what can be a really ego-driven artform at times and the strain it puts on relationships. Being a musician sometimes feels like a bit of a ‘death wish’, because it’s literally an all in, live and breathe kinda thing. I love what I do so much, and it made me realise that the moment you start sharing music with the world and it’s no longer just for yourself, you have a role to play in not just adding to the noise but doing something constructive with it. So that’s really nice to keep in mind now!“
