Having already shared singles “Then There’s You” and “Mosaic In The Sun”, Montreal-based songwriter Edwin Raphael returns with another new track from his upcoming album, I Know A Garden. Featuring UK based artist Jordan Mackampa, "A Sunbeam Lent To Us Briefly” finds “me and Jordan standing on the cliffs of the island where time drifts like mist over the waves, reflecting on how every moment, every love, every passing joy, is lent to us, not kept,” says Raphael. “The song hums with a quiet helplessness, the kind that comes from realizing that beauty and loss are intertwined."

MORE ABOUT EDWIN RAPHAEL
With roots in Kerala, India, Raphael studied classical guitar before deciding on the keys. As he developed an affinity for John Mayer and Ben Howard, he felt at odds with a distinct sense of “placelessness”. It wasn’t until he moved to Montreal to pursue a business degree that he felt a sense of stability, and became deeply entangled with the city’s indie bedroom pop scene.

His debut EP Ocean’s Walk (2015) paired stirring, melancholic instrumentals with a fierce self-reckoning. It would set the stage for a string of releases that would dive deeper into the psyche; like confronting the aftershocks following a significant heartbreak, or relearning your emotional baseline as you mature. Subsequent releases, Cold Nights (2017),  Will You Think of Me Later? (2019), and its follow up Staring at Ceilings (2021), reveal an artist devoted to sharpening his ability to translate his experiences into ubiquitous statements.

The 2024 re-release of Will You Think of Me Later? has amassed 115 million streams on Spotify. Edwin has performed over 70 shows across 14 countries since 2023, sharing the stage alongside Palace, Hollow Coves, Noah Kahan, and more. He heads out on tour throughout Quebec beginning March 27 and a U.K. and European tour commences May 14  All dates are below.

“Mosaic In The Sun” Video Still

Recently, Montreal-based songwriter Edwin Raphael announced his new album, I Know A Garden, and shared the album’s lead single, “Then There’s You”. Today, he returns with another selection from the upcoming album, “Mosaic In The Sun”. The track is accompanied with a music video, filmed entirely in West Bengal, India, and highlights a return to Edwin's Indian roots.

“The song is about the ache of dislocation,” explains Raphael. “Growing up across countries and cultures, with your sense of home packed into shifting landscapes — you learned that no place truly held you. You brought the garden with you instead. In this track, we feel the pull between surrender and survival, between letting yourself fall apart or choosing, once again, to ‘just roll.’

“The chorus echoes that familiar voice — the one inside you that wonders if resting, loving, letting go is safe. Or if it's another risk disguised as relief: ‘If I could just fall / oh it could feel good for a while…’

“But like a mosaic scattered in sunlight, even brokenness can refract something beautiful. There's a humility here — in asking, ‘Where was I when I was all you needed?’ — that feels like looking into your younger self’s eyes, or speaking to someone you once loved, and realizing you’ve both been trying to make peace with your own disappearing acts.”

I KNOW A GARDEN ALBUM OUT MARCH 20, 2026

“Then There’s You” is the first new music from the Montreal-based songwriter Edwin Raphael since 2023's Warm Terracotta. The new single is a love song wrapped in soft confrontation — the kind that doesn’t explode, but lingers like an unfinished sentence. Tucked deeper into the garden lies a grove where silence hums like a secret. It’s dappled with moments you almost forgot — half-formed feelings, words left unsaid, books you meant to finish. This is The Grove of Echoes — a place where the past loops, not loudly, but with a whisper. Here lives “Then There’s You”, the soft interruption of love when you least expect it, the kind that sneaks past your defenses and stands still, waiting.

The lyrics dance between the romantic and the disillusioned — a push and pull that feels like trying to catch sunlight with bare hands. “Lines like ‘books stacked on the nightstand’ and ‘I might just fold a second time’ links to me trying to write a new story, but keeps slipping back into the margins,” says Edwin. “The chorus carries that dizzying duality, ‘you laugh like I’m the only one who moves you’ — a compliment that cuts both ways when you're unsure of its truth.”

This grove symbolizes a deep turning point. You've wandered through self-reflection, mysticism, and memory — but this is where reality hums back. Not loud, but honest. Love in this garden isn’t always a resolution; sometimes, it’s a mirror held too close. And still, there’s a strange kind of hope in the knowing. “Then There’s You” is an ode to witnessing. To being seen not as someone broken or scattered, but as someone whole — or at least someone trying.

Watch for more news about Edwin Raphael’s upcoming album I Know A Garden to be shared soon.
