TRACK REVIEW: Lee J Toby – Roll With The Weeds

If winter is a time for reflection, North Shields’ Lee J Toby’s fresh track Roll With The Weeds is a strong contender for a place on the soundtrack.

The first release from his upcoming early 2025 eponymous EP and following from previous release The Wild Can Wait, the track captures Toby’s thoughtful lyrical expression of reflections on past relationship regrets. Tender yet passionate vocals build gradually throughout, giving weight to lyrics that capture wistful wonderings interlaced with intricate, at times poignant and other times hopefully airy guitars. It is atmospheric and cleansing, soulful music. I look forward to what the whole EP brings.
