Cyndi Lauper, Tones And I & CYRIL Team Up for ‘Time After Time’ Remix: Exclusive

Producer and DJ CYRIL joins forces with Tones And I for a new twist on “Time After Time,” which arrives today via Spinnin’ Records.

Cyndi Lauper, Tones And I, and CYRIL have collaborated on a fresh remix of "Time After Time," the iconic '80s hit. The remix, set to drop on October 23 via Spinnin' Records, retains Lauper's original vocals and intro melody while incorporating the Australian duo's unique sound. CYRIL's production adds dreamy sonic elements, pulsating beats, and a sense of time ticking away.

Tones And I joins in on the chorus, creating a harmonious blend. The trio's paths crossed serendipitously, with Lauper impressed by Tones' talent and CYRIL expressing his admiration for Lauper's iconic status. Lauper, a Grammy, Emmy, and Tony winner, shared that singing "Time After Time" with Tones on stage in 2025 was a deeply meaningful moment.

Tones, whose real name is Toni Watson, rose to fame with her 2019 hit "Dance Monkey," topping charts in over 30 countries. CYRIL, also known as Cyril Riley, had a breakout year in 2024, dominating Spotify's Australian Music Global Impact List and even topping the charts with his remix of Disturbed's "The Sound Of Silence."
