PillowTalk member Michael Tello steps into the spotlight with his solo project, Lil’T, unveiling his ambitious new album, Back 2 The Future. This genre-defying 10-track release seamlessly fuses elements of electronica, indie dance, future house, dub, and garage, featuring a dynamic lineup of talented collaborators. 

Back 2 The Future is an intimate and dynamic project that reflects Tello’s enduring passion for beat-making, sound design, songwriting, and vocal production. This album crafted a sonic timeline that encapsulates works assembled for two decades. During its fabrication, Lil’T seized the opportunity to tap into and display his personal writing and production style. 

The album starts with “Mamma Knows Best,” a dubby intro by Aquarius Heaven about life’s ups and downs and smiles and frowns. Next is ‘Open Your 3rd Eye’ where Tone of Arc, shares his reflection on consciousness, spirituality, and the cosmos, complemented by Hannah Noelle and Lionize’s infectious vocal mantras. 

‘Eyes Wide Shut’ is a lithe collaborative groove produced with Tone of Arc that’s filtered, pained vocals, and chunky, funky beats bring the music to the heart. There is a sultry, playful mood throughout this record on cuts like the 80s-tinged synth sounds of ‘C 2 Believe’ with Wolf+Lamb and PillowTalk vocalist, Sammy D. The album’s self-titled track ‘Back 2 The Future’ which features Lil’T on vocals takes the journey even further into the dancefloor. 

‘Free Yo Body’ is a warm message from newcomer Jowil De La Vega to the world, snappy kicks and sultry R&B tones on ‘Giving All My Love’ engulf ears and spark a fun duet with Hannah Noelle and Lil’T on backing vocals. 

The deep performance by Big $exy on ‘Don’t Make Me Wait’ is especially heartfelt given him recently so tragically passing after being a best friend and long time collaborator with Mikey for a number of years, and shows why he was so deeply respected by all in the music industry for his talent.
