Emerson Hart, acclaimed songwriter and frontman of Tonic, has returned with a dreamy space cowboy odyssey titled “Past Conversations in Future Rooms”. Emerson is known for weaving intricate, personal stories into his lyrics for the band as well as his solo projects. 
 Similarly, the songs on the new EP are a rearview of memories from his life that hold both regret and hope. He says the songs are 6 personal stories set to music where he reflects on and tries to make sense of past experiences. 
 Many of the sounds and instrumentation are drawn from Emerson’s youth including synths and guitars. He shares “these songs were born and recorded pre- and post-pandemic when we took a hard look at life and where we wanted to go.” Emerson views his songwriting as part of the cathartic process of analyzing and finding new meaning in life’s events. 
 Emerson has created lyrical works of art that resonate with fans throughout his career. As frontman for multi-platinum GRAMMY® Award-nominated alternative rock institution Tonic, he has racked up six Top 10 singles including “If You Could Only See”, sold millions of records and toured the world. 
 Emerson has also built a growing solo discography. His upcoming 4th solo EP “Past Conversations in Future Rooms” is a continuation of his evolution as a solo artist - bringing his past into the future, melding old and new. The 6 tracks will be released over the coming months with the first single “I Look For You” out in July 2022.
