Canadian singer James Tonic rekindles his memories of New York in ‘At The Time In New York.’

James Tonic, a dream pop sensation, has yet again proved his knack for crafting cinematic songs with ‘At The Time In New York.’ Being the seventh song from his album ‘Safety 2,’ released 28th January, production credits include Chris Peden and James himself. The track features themes of nostalgia and introspection, thereby allowing listeners to step into the private world of the artist.

Having moved to New York from his native Montreal, James Tonic has earned a name for himself. In his seven independently released albums, Tonic has made an artistic identity of himself through various means. The likes of live instrumentation, analog synths, and emotive vocals. Through his creation of full-length, cohesive albums rather than chasing fleeting trends, Tonic is establishing himself as a dream pop storyteller.

The Time In New York’ is an interesting combination of mood and emotions that reflect the contemplative nature of the author’s songs. It is a song that talks about going back to that time in a place where it happened. At the same time, the emotional nature of the album appears naturally due to the pop nature of ‘Safety 2.’ Listen now on Spotify.
