Today, Montreal musician Thanya Iyer released the music video for “I am here now,” the second single from her upcoming album TIDE/TIED, set to drop on April 30, 2025, via Topshelf Records.
“I am here now” is another beautiful, dreamy indie experimental pop tune, showcasing Iyer’s singular ability to blend ethereal soundscapes with intimate, reflective lyricism.
The track opens with gentle, shimmering instrumentation that slowly unfurls into a lush, layered arrangement. Iyer’s vocals float delicately above the mix, carrying a sense of both vulnerability and strength.
About the track by Thanya:
“I am here now” is a meditation on presence — on coming back into connection with ourselves and the world around us when everything is on fire. It’s a mantra on staying open and engaged, moving through discomfort, slowing down, loving our bodies, and finding joy.
For me, this song is deeply tied to my experience with chronic pain and the forces in the world that attempt to sever our connection to our bodies — How do we come back into conversation with our bodies and the stories they carry?
Through it all, we find new ways to listen, to love, to awaken.
