Kakuyon delivers a nuanced song about being present in your life with “Tomorrow.” The line “I’m thinking of tomorrow/And living for today” juxtaposed with words about how tomorrow can feel vague and like a distant future if you’ve not taken care of things in your life today, forever on a rat race of emotional paralysis. “Living for today cause it feels good to feel” points toward being present in your feelings instead of putting them on hold and in a perpetual state of an abstract experience that you think about rather than directly experience. The introspective vocals and melancholic, shimmery, synth lines hazy with a touch of distortion suggests a state of reflective reverie and acceptance. The sound is a blend of hip-hop, R&B and dream pop reminiscent of the evocative work of George Lewis Jr. as Twin Shadow. But Kakuyon sets the music to a trap beat that uses that electronic percussion to suggest a delicacy befitting the subject of the song.
