Stephan Folkes Shines on Reflective New Single ‘It’s All Within Time (Travelling Through the Stars)’
Stephan Folkes returns with a transcendent new release, ‘It’s All Within Time (Travelling Through the Stars)’, and it’s clear the London-based artist is charting his own course through the cosmos of contemporary music. Following the critical success of his debut single ‘Say It Like You Mean It’, Stephan’s latest offering is a richly layered, genre-defying meditation on time, adversity, and personal growth.
A self-described “Visionist” and “King of Fantasy,” Folkes approaches music with a rare kind of fearlessness. His newest single doesn’t chase trends—it questions them. From the very first note, Stephan draws listeners into a reflective space, encouraging them to consider the lessons learned from life’s most difficult moments.
“Music should be a space for self-reflection,” Stephan says, and ‘It’s All Within Time’ lives up to that mission. Carried by his velvety vocals—reminiscent of George Michael at his most heartfelt—Stephan weaves a soundscape that blends soft rock, R&B, jazz, funk, and ambient pop with effortless finesse. The result is a sound that’s both nostalgic and forward-thinking, dreamy yet grounded.
Lyrically, the track urges listeners to embrace their journey in its entirety. It’s not just about where you’re going—it’s about how you’ve grown through the fire. There’s something deeply empowering in that message, and Stephan delivers it with authenticity and grace.
Born and raised in Leytonstone, East London, Stephan’s music is deeply rooted in personal experience. Surviving a life-threatening hospitalization at five and a near-drowning in his youth, he emerged with a profound sense of purpose—one that pulses through every word and every chord. Since beginning his journey in music at just 11, he’s grown into a full-fledged artist, working alongside industry talents like Nick Michaels (Bethnal) and producer Phil Curran.
With a strong presence online and plans to bring his message to the stage across the UK, ‘It’s All Within Time (Travelling Through the Stars)’ marks a powerful new chapter for Stephan Folkes. It’s not just a song—it’s a reminder to honour your past, trust the timing of your life, and never be afraid to walk your own path.
Imbermind, the cutting-edge musical collective pushing the boundaries between electronic purity and alternative pop, has officially released their hotly anticipated debut album, Never Ending. A bold and immersive sonic experience, the 11-track album is now available on all major streaming platforms—cementing the group’s arrival as one of the most exciting new acts in contemporary music.
Crafted by the visionary minds of Edu Imbernon, Luis Clemente, Nico Casal, and Álvaro Monreal, Never Ending is an electrifying journey through sound. Fusing the shimmering textures of synth-pop, the pulse of indie dance, and the emotional gravity of alternative pop, the album stands as a fearless artistic statement. With sweeping cinematic moments and introspective lyrical depth, Never Ending evokes comparisons to icons like Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, RÜFÜS DU SOL, Moderat, Bicep, and Metronomy, yet retains a distinct identity all its own.
Imbermind first turned heads with their stunning official remix of Depeche Mode’s “Wagging Tongue”, taken from the legendary band’s 2023 album Memento Mori. The rework offered a masterclass in sonic reinvention—paying homage to the original while introducing a layered, contemporary soundscape that marked the group as one to watch.
That promise only deepened with the release of “Thousand Miles” in December 2024. The emotionally charged debut single explored resilience and perseverance, earning critical acclaim for its meticulous production and haunting vocal performance. The track became a signpost for the sonic ethos of Never Ending—a world where emotional storytelling meets expansive electronic innovation.
At the heart of Imbermind’s appeal is the fusion of four distinct artistic voices. Edu Imbernon, a global DJ and producer with a decade-spanning career, brings festival-tested energy and production finesse. Nico Casal, a classically trained pianist and celebrated film composer, injects cinematic depth and narrative flow. Luis Clemente adds versatility as a multi-instrumentalist and indie-electronic producer, while Álvaro Monreal, the unmistakable voice of the project, channels emotional resonance and acoustic mastery.
Together, the quartet creates music that defies easy categorization. Never Ending is not just an album—it’s an experience. From the euphoria of club-ready anthems to tender, stripped-down moments of reflection, the record invites listeners into an ever-shifting emotional landscape that feels both fresh and timeless.
As Imbermind takes their place on the global stage, Never Ending stands as a testament to their shared vision: fearless, genre-defying, and deeply human. Whether you’re a fan of forward-thinking electronic music or just discovering the genre, Imbermind is a name you won’t forget.
