An emotively gripping evolution shows on “Time,” a new track from Bishop Battle that pairs moody keys, chugging guitar sturdiness, and vocal introspection — lamenting “the cost of second chances” and asking “if you could undo the pain, would you still be you?” It makes for another thought-provoking, melodic showing from the artist, who has caught our ears in the past with standout tracks like “Visceral” and “Daybreak.”
Those previous releases were exemplary of the artist’s commendable tonal range, and “Time” delights in a similar capacity — here enveloping in its evolution from wintry piano-set balladry into second-half spacey synths and illuminated intrigue. Lyrical references to being “out of time” and the “paradox of outcome” bolster those relatable sentiments of personal decision-making and its consequences — all set within another melodic, emotively impactful production.
