Gliding between dream and daylight, “Taurus” by Tom Webber feels like stepping into a lucid dream with the volume turned all the way up.
Built on a funky bed of crisp guitar work and punchy, contemporary drum grooves, the track moves with effortless confidence. Backing vocals swell with soul, the harmonies shimmer, and the FX give everything a magical, otherworldly edge. Lyrically, Tom captures that strange, floating feeling of being caught between sleep and wakefulness, turning it into a sonic experience that’s both euphoric and relatable.
The song’s dynamics are expertly crafted. It rises and falls in all the right places, guiding the listener through a full-bodied journey—funky, intimate, expansive. It’s bold, imaginative, and emotionally charged without ever losing its groove.
Tom Webber has always blended retro soul with modern storytelling, but “Taurus” is another level. Having grown from busking the streets of Oxford to playing Glastonbury and headlining his own shows, Tom’s voice has only gotten stronger. His clear love for the sounds of the ’50s and ’60s—nurtured by his grandfather and sharpened by collaborations with names like James Dring and Jack Kaye—comes through with a fresh, magnetic energy here.
“Taurus” shows an artist who knows where he comes from but isn’t afraid to explore where he can go. It’s vibrant, stylish, and full of soul—an exciting new chapter for an artist whose sound only keeps expanding.
Plug in, press play, and drift into the dream.
