TobyMac Releases 'Eye'M All Mixed Up' Remix Album; 'Eye On It' Tracks Get an EDM Makeover [REVIEW]
Today marks the release day of TobyMac's Eye On It remix album, Eye'M All Mixed Up, and it can be purchased in stores or downloaded off of iTunes.
It features remixes by Soul Glow Activatur, Capital Kings, Telemitry, and a few others. The original album is already a hip-hop pop/EDM album, and this remix brings it into dance and a little dubstep territory.
Eye'M All Mixed Up is Toby's fourth remix album, and the third to feature all songs from the previous album. His last remix venture, Dubbed & Freq'd had songs from both Portable Sounds and Tonight.

Overall Eye'M All Mixed Up does a great job of changing up the songs from their original versions and turning the album from catchy pop/hip-hop influenced tunes to a straight up dance/EDM album. One of the only complaints is that tracks 4, 5, 7, and 11 can already be heard on the Eye On It Deluxe version. Also the songs "Family" and "Favorite Song" were left off the remix album. This was odd, especially since "Family" was remixed by Jamie Moore on the deluxe edition.
However, with that being said, TobyMac and his amazing team of producers made another great record that keeps in the tradition of remixing his albums.
Eye On It, released in 2012, won a Grammy for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album and took home a Dove Award for Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year. Eye On It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 which at the time made Toby only one of four Christian artists to ever do it.
After the release of this album Toby will embark on the "Worship, Stories, & Songs Tour" featuring Matt Maher and Ryan Stevenson on November 6.
