When Anthony Malcolm, better known by his pseudonym, Tone Langu, spins his narratives of love, mercy, resilience, and divine experience, he has one intent driving him: the union of the listener with God’s eternal grace and wisdom. He hopes that what reverberates in the heart of his audience after experiencing his music is not just the catchy melodies, but a profound stir that brings peace, ignites inspiration and promises a resilient faith.
From the humble beginnings in the emotive confluence of church worship, Tone Langu has evolved tremendously in his journey. The church, designed to elevate one’s spirit towards the Divine, sparked a transformative process within him. The melodies and prayers that filled the pews evolved into a purpose, transcending the realm of personal piety, and fuelling a spiritually-infused artistic ambition that aims to create, influence, and inspire.
First-time listeners to Tone Langu’s melodies might enter with preconceptions about Christian music. However, his wholesomely surprising sound, peppered with deep and soulful contexts, is addictive. With an artistic approach that reshapes expectations and trends in Christian music, Tone Langu’s style exhibits the ability to catch their attention, engage their heart, and prompt a spiritual introspection.
The metamorphosis Tone Langu underwent wasn’t sudden, but a transformation pressed by divine workmanship that shifted his perspective and sense of purpose. His new project embodies this transformation, marking an evolution of his artist persona. It is an ambitious effort to aid others’ spiritual journeys by offering a delicate mix of vulnerability, creativity, and positive messaging.
Currently, Tone Langu is answering a divine call on a prolific project—an EP titled “Anointed” complementing his newly released book, “Anointed, Lone With God.” Each chapter of the book syncs with a corresponding song on the EP, cleverly intertwining storytelling and music. This unique approach aims to provide listeners and readers with an immersive and emotionally-rich experience of story and sound.
Fans awaiting the soon-to-be-released “Anointed” can stifle their anticipation slightly by streaming two singles, “DONT Let me go” and “YIYLANDS.” Simultaneously, they are encouraged to delve into the spiritual journey outlined in Tone Langu’s new book. The caveat from the artist himself: be ready for more surprises. A keen reminder comes with this advice—to keep themselves updated by following the artist on various traditional and trendy social platforms.
Defining him narrowly as an artist does not capture the essence of Tone Langu. His creativity and artistry are just slivers of his identity. He is a Man of God, whose life’s mission goes beyond merely creating music. It is a calling to spread the testimony of divine love, grace, and mercy. It is a fascinating evolution that sees his music as a tool to communicate that one can fully live through Christ, that the courage to be different is empowering, and that one’s actions do not confine their identity.
The versatility in Tone Langu’s musical influences reflects his desire for collaboration with artists across the spectrum such as Hulvey, H.E.R, Coco Jones, Tasha Cobbs, and Beres Hammond, which further highlights his open, inclusive and eclectic artistry vision.
Tone Langu’s journey is a testament to his faith. His transformation and his medium underscore that God, indeed, does not call the already qualified, but qualifies those whom He calls.
