Toronto-born singer-songwriter Julian Hunt is back with his latest single, “Marine Drive”, a dreamy, nostalgic track that explores the delicate tension between memory and moving forward. Written during a move to Vancouver, the song draws on vivid personal snapshots—“my red eye flight,” “high like kites,” and “time for our biggest mistakes”—painting a picture of moments that linger long after they’ve passed. Julian says the track’s looping structure mirrors the way certain memories resurface again and again, with Vancouver’s Marine Drive serving as a touchstone for reflection and possibility.
Musically, “Marine Drive” blends lush dream-pop textures with 80s-inspired synths, airy keyboards, and sparkling electric guitars, all anchored by gentle programmed drums. Julian’s layered vocal stacks add warmth and intimacy, highlighting his self-taught piano skills and flair for storytelling. Following the buzz of his debut single “Sharks In The Pool”, featured in Zillions Magazine and on Radio One Vancouver, “Marine Drive” solidifies Hunt’s reputation as a bold, reflective voice in contemporary pop—melding cinematic nostalgia with modern production in a way that feels both personal and universal.
