The summer belongs to TOK: - TOK heads to Europe for summer tour
Dancehall's vivacious quartet TOK will be taking their signature sound on a European tour this summer. The month long tour is expected to start early July in The Netherlands and later spread throughout the rest of Europe.
TOK is no stranger to Europe, in fact they have been visiting the continent for five years now, performing at some of the most prominent shows and night spots there.
The group, known for their high energy on stage, has a catalogue of hit songs fit for almost any occasion. It is no surprise then that the Europeans have embraced the quartet, making sure their visits are memorable. According to group member Roshaun, "Europe is a place away from home where the people dem love us bad… they treat us like royalties."
TOK will also be blazing Jamaica this summer. Immediately after their European tour, they will head back home for a big summer party "Bounce". Bounce is an annual party, hosted by TOK and normally features premiere dancehall entertainers. Last year the show featured Shaggy, Lady Saw and others.
The summer definitely belongs to TOK. With a European tour on the brink and a sizzling beach party in the pipeline, one would think that the group's sack is full for this summer - think again. Their third album is on the way as well and it is expected to be released this summer. TOK has released two albums, namely My Crew, My Dogs and Unknown Language respectively. The unnamed album is currently being worked on and the group is ensuring that it is very artistic, clean and entertaining.
Currently, TOK's latest singles are Guardian Angel on the Guardian Angel rhythm produced by local Disc Jockey, Arif Cooper and We Don't Miss. These songs have been attacking the local radio stations and charts. Two more singles are expected to be released one on the Resolution rhythm called Resolution and the other one called Got It Going On, on an independent rhythm. TOK has released a barrage of hit songs over the years that have gained international credit, the most recent of which is Footprints that was featured on BET and MTV.
Four different personalities combine to form the unique group TOK and they are on a journey not only to share their talent with the rest of the world but to further highlight Jamaica on the map.
The next stop for TOK is the European tour this summer that is likely to be extended based on requests for more shows.
