Tim Atlas Shares Groovy Single “Stardust,” Debut Album ‘Enchanté’ Out 5/31

Today, Brooklyn-based multi-hyphenate singer, songwriter, and producer Tim Atlas, who boldly blends elements of R&B, neo-soul, alternative, and bedroom pop, releases new single “Stardust” off his upcoming debut album, Enchanté, out May 31.

“Stardust,” written and recorded during a trip to Los Angeles, balances ethereal keys atop a distinct beat. His voice echoes, “Like stardust falling out in the sky, that’s what it feels like when you’re mine.”

“Whenever I go back to Los Angeles, my music becomes a little more sunshiny and California poppy,” Tim admits. “It was a different interpretation. We took a psychedelic approach, and we were thinking about David Bowie.”

Tim’s upcoming album Enchanté, which includes previous releases Le Soir and Matinee and some unheard gems, incorporates themes of love, insecurity, anxiety, trust, and more. Songs off the album have garnered millions of streams, building up anticipation for Tim’s loyal fanbase.

Matinee (HERE) contrasts distinctly with Tim’s August 2023 EP Le Soir (HERE). While Le Soir saw Tim debut a more grungy, industrial sound to create his take on the evening experience, Matinee is a whimsical, sun-splashed record that feels like an escape to a cinematic world.

“With every project I put out, I try to show a little more of myself. Enchanté is basically a reintroduction to me as a human and as an artist. For me, this record represents the different corners of my music that I haven’t showcased,” says Atlas.

Both EPs were conceived shortly after Tim’s move from Los Angeles to Brooklyn, a transition that helped him become more comfortable expanding his sound to new genre frontiers.

After the release of Le Soir, Tim embarked on a ten-stop headline tour last fall, where he notably sold out Mercury Lounge in New York, Moroccan Lounge in LA and Brick and Mortar in San Francisco. Tim has also recently played Pygmalion Festival in Urbana, and M3F Festival in Arizona. This fall, Tim is set to hit the road again, this time opening for LA-based indie pop duo slenderbodies. 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.
