Following on from the release of his recent nocturnal inspired EP Le Soir, multi-hyphenate singer, songwriter, and producer Tim Atlas today shares his latest single ‘Lighthouse’.
The single sees Tim actively pursue a more sun-splashed sound that feels like an escape to a cinematic world. Speaking about the single, Tim explains, "I’m not sure how relatable this is and I promise I don’t hear voices (yet). But have you ever spent so much time with someone that their voice or personality temporarily becomes the voice of your conscience? That’s where this song started. It’s about the idea of letting go of someone in your life, but finding comfort in knowing they’ll always be a part of who you are."
Brooklyn based, California native Tim Atlas has built a solid following for his unique blend of R&B, neo-soul, alternative, and D.I.Y. bedroom pop since the launch of his debut album All Talk! in 2018. Growing up surrounded by the hills of Silicon Valley, surrounded by tech companies, a career in music, he’s said, just wasn’t a norm. But, as he told the Line of Best Fit, despite this he was “surrounded by singing, either from his mum and her love for their karaoke machine, or his dad who led the songs at church.” Once out of college, Tim decided to properly pursue a career in music, starting off as a producer and offering friends and local acts his service at low rates before beginning to create and release his own music.
Having built up comparisons to the likes of Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Phoenix, and Tame Impala, he signed with Nettwerk, and released his acclaimed 2021 QUOTA EP that showed off Tim’s individuality as an artist who knows exactly who he is. After the release of his most recent EP, 2023’s Le Soir, Tim embarked on a ten-stop US headline tour, where he notably sold out the Mercury Lounge in New York, Moroccan Lounge in LA and Brick and Mortar in San Francisco. On tour, Tim has supported artists such as Jungle Giants, Magic City Hippies, and Goldroom, while his avid fan base has helped him garner over 150 million streams to date.
This new year sees Tim Atlas re-emerge sounding as energised and vital as ever. With promises of more releases and more international dates to come, 2024 looks set to be Tim’s biggest year yet.
