Expecting something less poppy than his first project? Think again! TYYE delivered exactly what listeners desired, not only in the “whole thing” but also in his growing appeal to a larger audience. His material moved constantly between pop and commercial sounds, while never losing the emotional depth in his lyrics. With a more melodic and deeper tone, “whole thing” stood out as his latest musical statement, released on August 29th, 2025. While the sound leaned toward commercial pop, the story behind the track was deeply personal. Written after a recent breakup, the song reflected on the pain of wanting someone who was never fully his. The mellow qualities of the R&B percussion perfectly complemented the emotional weight of the lyrics.
Influenced by artists such as The Weeknd, Glass Animals, Ariana Grande, and Justin Bieber, TYYE shaped a sound that felt polished yet heartfelt. He teamed up with Kansas City based producer Braxton Medellin, whose close involvement allowed every detail of the track to be fine-tuned with care. The mastering by Jackson Maddox added clarity and depth, ensuring the production resonated on every level. TYYE himself had said the track was created with the listener’s emotions in mind not just what they heard but what they felt.
The layered production highlighted both the upbeat R&B groove and the reflective nature of the lyrics, creating a balance that gave “whole thing” its lasting impact. This single also represented a transitional moment for TYYE. His debut leaned more toward R\&B, but “whole thing” embraced a stronger pop crossover while keeping his emotional essence intact. It marked the beginning of a new chapter, serving as a precursor to his first EP, which expanded further on this evolving sound. More than just a song about unreciprocated love, “whole thing” was a statement of artistic growth. With its raw emotion, sleek production, and relatable storytelling, the track signaled that TYYE’s name would soon reach far beyond Kansas City.
