From Auckland-based songwriter and producer Personal Igloo, “Time To Be” is a bouncy pop track described by the artist as “about the realisation of the times we live in, and how we are all obsessed with maximising pleasure.” The main vocal hook — “I never thought I’d see the time to be alive, but who could believe that paradise would melt the ice,” — plays with melodic charm throughout, even while emitting a brutal societal truth. Synth-laden additions around the two-minute mark add further to the track’s engrossing mix. Accessible and addictive, “Time To Be” is a fun success from Personal Igloo.
