Stephan Folkes’ sophomore single, “It’s All Within Time (Travelling Through the Stars)“, is a masterclass in sonic storytelling—an audacious, genre-defying journey that solidifies his place as a visionary in contemporary music. Building on the bold foundation of his debut, “Say It Like You Mean It,” Folkes delves even deeper into introspective terrain, crafting a track that marries emotional vulnerability with musical sophistication.
The song opens with ethereal ambient textures that conjure the feeling of a spacecraft ascending into the unknown—an apt metaphor for the internal voyage the music undertakes. Folkes’ falsetto, evocative of George Michael’s soulful timbre, floats above a carefully woven blend of soft rock, jazz, funk, and R&B. The result is a sound both nostalgic and forward-thinking, grounded in tradition yet daringly experimental.
The production is lush and cinematic. Every instrumental layer feels intentional, each element calibrated to serve the emotional arc of the track. But “It’s All Within Time” is more than just a sonic achievement—it’s a personal statement. Drawing from a life marked by adversity and unflinching self-expression, Folkes imbues the track with raw sinceritythat invites listeners to engage deeply with the music.
With “It’s All Within Time,” Stephan Folkes proves that his debut was no fluke. He’s not following a trend—he’s authoring his own sonic mythology, and we’re all invited to witness its unfolding.
