Multi-hyphenate singer, songwriter, and producer Tim Atlas shares his second single of the year, ‘Attractive’.

The track possesses a sublime, silky summer vibe, with an easy, undeniable groove and intoxicating textures. This succeeds electric '‘Knockin’’, which was released in May and saw support from BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders, and is another insight into his upcoming EP Le Soir, out 25 August via Nettwerk.

Tim states writing and producing ‘Attractive’ was “a lesson in simplicity”. He further explains, saying, “I tend to overcomplicate certain corners of my life, and music can be no exception. The decision to sing something as transparent as the opening line trickled down to the production approach as well. Sometimes we just say what we mean. I love a good analogy and I don’t think this is a one size fits all sentiment, but this song is just me telling myself that sometimes it’s ok to keep it simple.”

''Le Soir is the first installment of three in this collection of songs,” explains Tim on the new EP. “I decided that this first wave of music felt connected in their experimental nature.”

“Le Soir translates to ‘at night’ and I tend to associate the night with feeling disoriented the longer I’m awake. I think a lot of songwriters will work well into the early morning, and the results end up unlocking creative tendencies in the process. Sometimes feeling uncomfortable can be a great thing. Did I write all of these songs at 3am? No. I can appreciate an early bedtime. But the thread through this EP is that they all have these elements that feel very different, sometimes discombobulated, especially in comparison to some of the more California-inspired sunshine you’ll hear in a lot of my previously released music.”
