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.
Soon-to-be superstar Alivia Clark makes her triumphant return following a one-year hiatus. The multifaceted talent showcases her sonic evolution through her new single, “Breathless.” “Breathless” is a culmination of genres, most notably EDM/House and Pop. The Dance-Pop, Electropop song has an R&B/Soul flair, demonstrating Alivia Clark’s versatility and immense artistry.
“Breathless” is a booming, fun feminine anthem. Alivia Clark’s sultry, seductive vocals pair well with the song’s thumping, up-tempo instrumentation. The flirtatious, sensual jam is a late-night bop that is passionate and carefree. “‘Breathless’ captures the intoxicating feeling of losing control in a moment of desire.” Alivia Clark continues, “The song lives in that space between vulnerability and power – where emotions hit harder than logic.”
