tobyMac returns with his fourth studio project, Tonight, and recently spoke with NRT’s Kevin Davis about the title track.
Continuing Toby’s unique ability to blend musical influences, Tonight has an amazing mix of rock, pop, urban and hip hop sounds and styles. It features the smash hit single “City On Our Knees,” which has topped the radio airplay and digital single charts faster than any other tobyMac single. “’City on our Knees’ is really about a moment,” says Toby. “A moment that we all come together to a place where there’s no judgment but really love. And we choose to recognize one God together. It’s really a reminder that that moment could be right now, tonight. And in that moment judgment falls by the wayside, we choose to step across the line, whatever side we’re on. Love fills in the cracks and makes up the difference.”
