Drawing us in with an emotive guitar melody and brooding vocals, Eye of TJ opens Tonight, I Miss You with the emotive lyrics, “I lit a candle just to feel some light, but the shadows still talked to me tonight, your old hoodie still tucked in my drawer and I swear I don’t want you anymore, but silence hits a little too loud and I’m thinking of you somehow…”

We appreciate the raw authenticity and the build of the track. It taps into a cinematic allure, perfect for a range of sync deals – notably something that features a similar theme to Eye of TJ‘s narrative. As for the vocal range – we are in awe, and the charisma that we experience is uncanny.

We learn that Tonight, I Miss You serves as a holiday track that explores the reality of a “Blue Christmas”. This taps into notions of insomnia, loneliness and December memories. Following a breakout debut month with over 24,000 streams and features on GRUNGECAKE and The Route of Rock, Eye of TJ has definitely started to make his mark.

Fans of The Fray, Lifehouse, The Script, Daughtry, Secondhand Serenade and Breaking Benjamin will be able to connect with Tonight, I Miss You – particularly in part to its introspective nature and high emotional quotient – and of course the sublime guitar soundscape!

We also learn that Eye of TJ is a unique collaboration between human songwriting and digital performance. TJ is the lyricist and creative director, whilst the (all knowing) Eye manifests through a digital vocal persona. We love the progressive values and are actually blown away at how human everything feels – I guess this is the era that we are in now!

Tonight, I Miss You is featured on Eye of TJ‘s debut album Everything I Didn’t Say, which will be re-serviced as the official holiday single on December 19! In the meantime, we have added Tonight, I Miss You to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream the entirety of the album!
