“Instantly inspire[s] anyone to defiantly flaunt their individuality” - The Guardian
“Prowling synths and percussion that taps like honed talons.” - Complex
"Tomi's lyrical deftness doesn’t just reveal the blinding glare of materialistic boast-posting; Her savvy ear for production and equally catchy voice will also make you — to paraphrase a much different elder pop artist — dim your screen and dance in the dark." - Exclaim!

Toronto alt-pop disruptor AIKO TOMI (富愛子) newest album, Everything Sparks Joy, is a nine-track odyssey that feels like a sugar rush at the end of the world. Effortlessly blending hyperpop energy with sharp introspection, Tomi delivers tracks that are playful, chaotic, and deeply intelligent—a rare balance that’s as fun as it is thought-provoking.
Everything Sparks Joy invites listeners to lean into life’s contradictions: finding joy in chaos, balancing indulgence with simplicity, and owning both confidence and vulnerability. Beneath the glittering hooks and wild production is a carefully curated statement on individuality, rebellion, and the beauty of being real.
Today, Tomi is sharing the new single “BOUNCE”, the sonic equivalent of a lucky charm—full of cheeky lines, an addictive beat, and just enough bad behavior. One listen and you’re every girl at her freakiest, sparkliest, most unbothered. “It’s giving chaotic boba physics and dance-floor prophecy, inspired by a Taiwanese massage therapist who once said, ‘Your flesh is so bouncy—I can tell you’re a lucky girl’,” says Tomi. Part folklore, part flex, the track is deluxe, extra-strength pampering for girls carrying generational good fortune.

MORE ABOUT EVERYTHING SPARKS JOY
"This album concept was born when I was called out for being full of shit for expressing my minimalist aspirations. My response was, ‘I’m not a hoarder, I’m just an indecisive minimalist—EVERYTHING sparks joy,’" says Tomi. "It’s for anyone who feels like they exist between worlds – living fully in their dualities."
With a bold sonic palette by producer Andrew Rasmussen and striking visuals, Everything Sparks Joy is equal parts party and think piece, proving that bangers can have both brains and booty.

Alt-pop artist AIKO TOMI 富愛子 has been called everything from “Asian Brat” to “Asian Peaches”—but behind the playful labels is a sharp, genre-blurring songwriter with a taste for the unexpected. The Taiwan-born, Toronto-based artist of Japanese-Chinese heritage weaves the duality of her experiences into a sound and aesthetic all her own: distorted hyperpop beats, hypnotic synths, and thoughtful yet addictive hooks that explore the contradictions we carry—with what Exclaim! calls “lyrical deftness.” Her high-energy live shows—described as “riveting—and fun” (NEXT Magazine)—pair bold physicality with moments of brutal honesty. Fresh from performances across Asia and Europe, AIKO TOMI has been spotlighted in The Guardian, Complex, and CBC Radio. She also curates The Cult of AIKO TOMI, a self-produced live music series spotlighting diverse artists through Asian-inspired themes.
