Tinlicker Share New Single ‘Be Here And Now’ ft. Nathan Nicholson
Acclaimed Dutch duo Tinlicker, consisting of artists Micha Heyboer and Jordi van Achthoven, have just released their stirring new single Be Here and Now, out now via London-based independent label Anjunadeep.
For this song, the talented duo teamed up with London-based, American singer/songwriter Nathan Nicholson whose dreamy, expressive vocals effortlessly infuse a touch of emotion in this captivating piece of electronic music. Be Here And Now invokes the emotions of looking back at what once was, longing for the innocence of growing up. This nostalgia-infused message is wrapped around a highly captivating Progressive House production with lush strings/synths, killer bass, cool rhythms and yearning vocals. It's a song perfect to dance to but also perfect for those introspective moments home alone.
This gem is accompanied by a music video directed by Julius Ponten and starring Dutch actor Werner Kolf (Wolf, Gangster, Vechtershart). Check it out below!
On the single, vocalist Nathan Nicholson explains:
When Tinlicker first sent me the instrumental for this song, long before they gave it rhythm, I fell in love with it - just piano and strings. It was very powerful and a lot of the lyrics and all of the melody came out on my first pass. The lyrics are about a longing for the past and the innocence of growing up. I lost my mom when I was eighteen and within a year moved from Tennessee to England, so my childhood into adulthood has a very strong line running in between. I'm in a constant war with nostalgia - the other life - and where I am right now. In this song, I'm simply telling myself to have reverence for my past, but not to be beholden to it. A huge thanks to Tinlicker for asking me to be a part of it.
