Jaime’s Tone’s new single “A New Life” feels like the sound of someone turning a page in real time. The Paris-based artist, known offstage as Jacques M. has always blended rock influences in a way that feels distinctly his, but this release is the calculated incision of a meaningful shift. For the first time, he’s taken absolute control — writing, producing, mixing, and mastering every detail himself. You can hear that personal touch immediately. Nothing feels accidental; each element lands exactly where he wants it 
While the song leans more into progressive rock than his past releases, it still carries the punchy pop-rock and hard rock flavors that fans will recognize. Lyrically, “A New Life” feels personal, touching on the everyday struggles and small emotional resets that push us towards change. It’s introspective without being heavy, and its tones feel hopeful, not forced— a balance Jacques pulls off naturally.
What makes this release stand out is his choice to break his next project into two separate EPs instead of dropping singles or one long record. The first chapter featuring— “A New Life,” “Today and Tomorrow,” and the instrumental “Celebration” — creates a concise, intentional listening experience that feels more like a story than a playlist.
The music video for “A New Life” reinforces that narrative, giving the track a visual heartbeat and making the song’s themes even more relatable.
Overall, “A New Life” is a fresh, honest step forward for Jamie’s Tone — the sound of an artist trusting his instincts and welcoming listeners into a new chapter with him.
