Nelson Sobral Release’s “Time after Time”

Nelson Sobral is a singer-songwriter, guitarist hailing from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, equally inspired by the vast, wide open spaces of the country he calls home and the labyrinthine maze of the city in which he resides. Sobral’s music is as much Americana and blues as it is soul and rock’n’roll, perfectly balanced with the energy and sound of each of his respective influences. The magical voice & guitar playing of Nelson Sobral channels soul, country, blues and rock’n’roll into one transformative and cathartic late-night vision.

Sobral has had the opportunity to share the stage with the talents and likes of David Wilcox, The Trews, Altameda, Wild. T, Mattie Leon, The Redhill Valleys, Midnight Vesta, Del Barber, Sate, Crown Lands, Cleopatrick, Ferraro, Irish Mythen, The Lazys, Ready The Prince, Monowhales, Skye Wallace, The Pack A.D., Ian Moore, AHI, Birds Of Bellwoods, Wild Rivers, Jeff Healey, Philip Sayce & Wide Mouth Mason.

ABOUT THE SONG: “Time After Time” (Cyndi Lauper Cover) : Release Date – June 6th, 2025

“I play a lot of cover gigs—part of the job. Some songs I play straight. Others, I bend until they feel like they came outta me. Cyndi Lauper’s classic “Time After Time” is one of those.

It started out as just another tune in the set. But night after night, it kept landing differently. Somewhere along the way, it stopped feeling like a cover and started feeling like mine—like something I might’ve written. I cut it at home—played all the instruments, sang it the way I felt it. Mattie Leon added some beautiful piano and vocal harmonies on the choruses, and also mixed the track. Mastering was done by Reuben Ghose of Mojito Mastering This isn’t about reinventing anything. It’s about taking an already powerful song and saying it in my own voice.

I’ll be putting out more of these between albums—songs I connect with, reshaped to fit the way I play and feel them.”
