Finnish singer-songwriter Tomi Saario shares his latest single ‘I Wanna Be Your James Dean’.
Tomi first fell in-love with blues music at age seven after listening to Stevie Ray Vaughan, but it wasn’t until he was 17 that he wrote his first song, citing John Mayer and D’Angelo as major influences.
Now back with his sweet pop track, Tomi looks back at an era of dating that was less about swiping right and more about real human connection…something we all secretly miss.
Listen to ‘I Wanna Be Your James Dean’ below.
Talking about the track, Tomi tells us “I get nostalgic for a time when this fast paced dating culture wasn’t really a thing and people gave each other time and effort. Nowadays everybody is so concerned about getting hurt that they actually never open up at all and instead end up playing unnecessary games with each other. I’m hoping we’ll still remember how to love one another in the end and stop idolising toxic traits. We should all be able to have that movie-like romance in our lives that we so desire, without the worry of getting ghosted or used.”
