NMR – A smooth electro vibe kicks this off, some warm synths sprinkled around the stereo field, a solid Bass line holding it all together.
James’s vocal sounds nice, suits this Pop style well, good harmonies and the track has a nice catchy chorus melody.
About James Tonic
James Tonic has officially released Safety II, the highly anticipated second instalment in his dream pop trilogy, following the breakout success of 2025’s Safety. Dropping on January 28, 2026, the artist’s seventh studio album continues to expand his sonic universe, blending hazy, atmospheric textures with grounded, real-life emotion.
Building on the momentum of its predecessor—which achieved over 20,000 sales and an impressive 60% Spotify save rate—Safety II arrives with strong expectations. The buzz surrounding 2024’s Stuck in LA, along with a run of sold-out West Coast shows, has only further cemented James Tonic’s growing reputation.
The nine-track album strikes a compelling balance between contrast and cohesion, pairing darker lyrical themes with lighter, more uplifting musical arrangements. Sonically, the record leans into live drum performances, vintage synthesisers, and raw instrumentation, delivering an authenticity that stands apart in today’s polished production landscape.
With Safety II now out in the world, fans can also look forward to seeing these tracks brought to life on stage. James Tonic is set to hit the road soon, with tour dates expected to be announced in the near future.
