Leicester songwriter Cj Pandit returns with new single ‘New York Time’.
The rising force made his debut last year, outlining his penchant for folk-flavoured indie, delivered with a poignant hue.
New single ‘New York Time’ continues his advance, with the acoustic palette holding itself with a rare degree of discipline.
A song that seemingly emerged from “the ether”, the lyrics appeared during a particularly difficult period for Cj.
He explains…
I was at the lowest point in my life, I couldn’t shake New York, or a person and situation there, or the weight of my own expectations for creating. I was manic, working all over the place with so many different people, but then went up to Liverpool to write some new songs.
Those few days were a real blur, filled with hallucinations and something I can still never quite put my finger on. Like watching a sunset, the knowledge to describe it never quite matches the sight or the experience of it. It’s the most honest I’ve ever been. I have little recollection of that time, but it’s a period and a song I’m incredibly grateful for that means so much more than I could ever put into words.
