Layered with soft rock textures, flickers of jazz, and spacious electronic flourishes, this piece stands at the crossroads between intimacy and cosmic scale. It’s a slow exhale in a world that rarely stops to breathe.

Stephan Folkes, based in Leytonstone, East London, has always moved between genres fluidly, but here he lets the atmosphere take centre stage. The production is gentle but expansive—guitars ripple like distant memories, while warm synth pads and steady percussion ground the track in quiet certainty. It never rushes. Instead, the pacing allows the lyrics room to resonate, reinforcing the idea that healing, understanding, and growth all arrive on their own timeline.

Vocally, Stephan offers something special; There’s a sense of calm wisdom in his delivery—not a performance in the traditional sense, but a kind of offering. Comparisons to George Michael or Prince aren't misplaced, but there’s also something more understated here—something that feels completely of the present moment, where emotional honesty is currency.

The track’s strength lies in its refusal to conform to immediacy. It invites listeners to sit with it, to reflect, to realign. The title itself suggests a journey across time and inner space, and the song honours that with its unhurried structure and celestial sonic palette. For fans of genre-defiant soul or reflective, musically rich songwriting, ‘It’s All Within Time’ is a reminder that meaning doesn’t always arrive loudly. Sometimes it moves slowly—like stars—and finds you when you’re ready.
