Audrey’s “Time” is a silky, slow-burning example of R&B at its best
The chanteuse holds the distinction of one of the first Korean-American female solo artists to sign to a major label in the US.
“Time”, and its forerunner “Souffle” released earlier this year, belong to a grander scheme of maintaining momentum, as Audrey prepares to release new music each month for the rest of 2019.
Downtempo grooves and languorous basslines are a sultry backdrop for Audrey’s crystalline vocals to veil. Her vocals trip, skipping down the steps, before smoothing out into a vast expanse for the chorus, as she promises, “I’m gonna make you mine / Gonna make this whole damn world mine”.
The visuals to accompany is a sun-bled montage, dedicated to the tarnished, seedy glamour of Hollywood. Her dream-like interactions with jaded stars is a realisation of the epithet, “Fake it ‘til you make it.”
