Mesmerizing, captivating, and enchanting are all words that describe emerging singer-songwriter, Tim Atlas. Hailing from Brooklyn, NY, the burgeoning star has continued to garner nationwide attention due to his ability to craft infectious jams to soundtrack our lives. After discovering him in September of last year, I knew he was a star. His EP “Le Soir” was one of my favorite projects from 2023. The EP was a hybrid of R&B, neo-soul, alternative, and D.I.Y. bedroom pop with unrestrained emotion. For me, it was a great introduction to the rising singer. Now, he returns to our pages with his latest EP, “Matinee”.
“Matinee” is vibrant, whimsical, cinematic, and it offers listeners a brighter side to Atlas. Listening to his latest project felt like seeing a rainbow after a rainy day. The EP is an imaginative journey about self-discovery & taking a step back from the outside world.
“Matinee is associated with a lot of different feelings for me. I remember skipping school to go to the movies & ridding yourself of any intentions that day,” says Atlas.
He continues, “It’s laid back and I think it makes you relaxed in a Sunday morning kind of way. Le Soir had us up all night long, and this EP begins when the sun comes up at5 in the morning.”
My favorite records were “Lighthouse”, “The Deceiving”, & “Lifeboat” with French-Italian artist Raphael Futura. The structure and overall sound of each song took me out of this world. At times, I felt like I was in a trance.
Although it contrasts distinctly with Tim’s August 2023 EP “Le Soir”, both projects give us a different perspective of the artist. For me, I have been able to hear his versatility as a singer & a songwriter. His ability to make a grunge song and then turnaround and make a sun-splashed record should be studied in schools. Tim Atlas is the industry’s next star! Stream his latest EP below!
