Fresh off a European tour with label mates Beach House, Marques Toliver has released his new single “Control” on iTunes. In addition Toliver has also premiered the official music video for the song. This coming May 14th will see the North American release of Land Of CanAan via Bella Union, the much anticipated follow up to his critically acclaimed Butterflies Are Not Free EP. Marques Toliver will perform in New York City on May 2nd at the Mercury Lounge.  

Toliver seemed to burst onto the scenes in the UK, making waves with a much heralded breakout performance on Later With Jools Holland. The performance drew the interest of Bella Union, who released his first EP Butterflies Are Not Free, which earned Toliver praise from many corners, including the New York Times who lauded the “considerable talent,” displayed on his “promising throughout” debut. NPR’s World Café would summed his aesthetic up nicely when they wrote that he “elegantly bridges the seemingly disparate worlds of classical music and pop R&B.”
