SG Lewis, the British singer-songwriter, has finally kicked off a new era with his long-awaited debut album Time, featuring the collaboration fans of the artist had been quietly pining for: a sultry cut alongside Rhye's silky smooth vocals. The single, aptly titled "Time," is the third offering from the album, after the infectious energy of "Impact," featuring Robyn and Channel Tres, and smooth grooves of "Feed The Fire," with Lucky Daye.
"Time" is an introspective, moody odyssey, one that tempers SG Lewis' propulsive dancefloor-friendly production with a fine, emotional gravity through the sole medium of a voice like Rhye's. And together they form a soundscape that feels both vast and intimate, a rare trick that sticks with you long after the track has ended.
The song boasts a roster of songwriters that reads like a who's-who of musical craftsmanship: Franne Golde, Duane Hitchings, Dennis Lambert, Milosh, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Julian Bunetta, and SG Lewis himself. This collaborative approach is reflected in the song's thoughtful layering, from ethereal synths to intricate vocal phrasing, crafting a track that feels both carefully honed and instantly engaging.
What makes "Time" so remarkable is how fresh and yet timeless it feels. With his debut, SG Lewis shows why he's become one of the U.K.'s most exciting producers, marrying electronic sensibilities to heart-on-sleeve songwriting. Rhye's vocals drift atop the production with a delicate, understated quality that makes all its moments feel suspended in time, a fitting structure for something named after and descending from, at least thematically, as floating. For fans of SG Lewis, "Time" is more than another single; it's a statement. It's the sound of deepening colors, and it confirms that this debut album is becoming not only a cohesive but also an emotionally resonant journey, and collaborations like these are indicative of something greater in its possibilities for contemporary electronic music.
