obsessed xx: get aroused by Tom Vek’s new single “Aroused”

21 Jun


Oh I am Tom, I am. Tom Vek is definitely an artist I’ve found where I absolutely love everything he creates. I can’t help but dance to this. “Aroused” is the second single (following our previous post of “A Chore”) off of his upcoming album “Leisure Seizure”. This album is out now in the UK and is being released in the US September 13th and is available to pre-order in the US. I cannot wait for it to come out here or to see him live next month. He is on tour so make sure you check out any dates near you!
