TMR regular Nia Wyn is back in the List Picks this week with her new double single release of ‘Atlantis’ and ‘Ghosted’. Both tracks have Wyn’s instantly recognisable voice within the framework of her neo-soul songwriting. However, for the purpose of a single review, let’s hone in on ‘Atlantis’. Explaining the inspiration behind this one, “I’m a big gamer and I got obsessed with the story of the Lost City of Atlantis through Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. I was researching Plato’s story and instead of fallen power, I was imagining this idyllic heavenly place you could run to with a lover to escape being deep into a bank overdraft, pressures from family and society and social media. The myth that Atlanteans could control things like weather and time is powerful in a world where we often feel helpless.” That idealistic romance is exemplified by Wyn’s stylistic reference to vintage soul, which pertains to a kind of sentimental innocence of a bygone era.
