The lead single from the forthcoming debut EP of Nottingham, UK-based artist Magenta Dusk, “Time” impresses with its moving synth-pop sound, bolstered at mid-point by guitar additions.
The soaring “holding on, waiting for a lifetime,” vocal beckoning stirs amidst the spacey synths, as lyrics feel celebratory in their push to leave the past behind. Lush guitar-touched additions in the ensuing verses drive seamlessly into another soaring, synth-starring escalation. “Time” is a harmonious, melodic production from Magenta Dusk that blends synths and guitars with nostalgic success.
