Rival, the first solo album from Tommy Marz, doesn't take the path of any of his previous work. It challenges listener's expectations. From the opening track, "Love (Around You)", it is clear that those listeners are in for a different experience. The result is an album filled with clever hooks, blues inspired solos, and radio friendly melodies. Tommy further showcases his Pop acumen during the songs "About A Fool" and "Destiny", displaying the poppy side of his creative process. Tommy also recorded a cover of George Michael's hit "Faith". Videos for "Faith" and "Only Human" can be found on his website and youtube.
