With 'Time', Ni Maxine delivers not just a song but an affirmation. 'Time' is an invitation to pause, breathe, and reclaim space for ourselves. Taken from her forthcoming EP Mother’s Arms, the track is a reminder to slow down in a world that feels increasingly urgent, uncertain, and overwhelming. The opening line 'Time - man made construct, to confine us. Is there more to life? Or do we just survive?” has you lingering on the question, immediately pulling you into deeper reflection. Ni Maxine lingers on the thought, leaving you suspended in that moment of wondering. The song unfolds as a daily reminder: to focus on our human needs, our feelings, our dreams. Rather than rushing to answers, it creates room for reflection. The instrumental outro feels almost like a required pocket of sonic stillness, a place to take time for yourself without the distraction of words. Musically, 'Time' is understated but powerful. Its soulful textures and spacious production mirroring the expansiveness of its message. It feels both personal and universal, echoing Ni Maxine’s reputation for music that blends lived experience with collective memory. In a cultural landscape dominated by noise and speed, 'Time' feels essential - an anthem for presence, clarity, and reclaiming one’s rhythm. Ni Maxine once again proves why she is one of the UK’s most compelling new voices: not just as an artist, but as a voice for reflection and renewal. -Rachel Fryer
