Akili G Awesome's "I Need a Flight Tobago" is a soulful island trip and heartfelt homage to home.

With his first single, "I Need a Flight Tobago," Akili tells his musical narrative with the warmth and pride of someone deeply connected to their roots. The song is a love letter to the island of Tobago, its people, its scenic beauty, and the emotion it invokes in anyone who calls it home. The rhythm of the song epitomizes a leisurely dance meant for slow-jamming, with eyes closed, and for allowing yourself to be transported to the shoreline, laughs, and love that Tobago is.

"I Need a Flight Tobago" surges like a wave of memories, enveloping and pulling the listener into a place where sunlight blends with sea breeze and every melody sustains another beat of the island's heart. The production is polished but organic, letting Akili's vocals slide effortlessly into the arrangement. His delivery is unforced, heartfelt, and palpably personal, the sound of an artist who's grateful for where he comes from. 

As a debut single, "I Need a Flight Tobago" offers something more than an introduction to Akili, it's his calling card. It's a statement of identity, tradition, and ardor set to melody and sincerity. For anyone who's ever felt homesick or yearned to reconnect with their past, this track goes straight to the soul. Akili has landed, and he brought Tobago with him.
