Olivia Reid’s latest single, “All in Time,” drifts in like the first snowfall of the season—gentle, deliberate, and laced with a quiet kind of gravity. A hushed blend of indie-folk and soft pop, the track moves with the unhurried rhythm of winter itself, embracing stillness rather than resisting it.
Reid describes it as an exploration of life’s natural cycles, a reminder that dormancy is just as essential as movement. “I wrote this song about the winter, struggling to let myself feel calm in the darker hibernal months of the year,” she explains. That sentiment pulses through every note, making “All in Time” feel like a cathartic form of therapy. The track opens with a soft acoustic guitar figure, its simplicity acting as a foundation for the atmospheric swells that follow. The percussion, an organic mix of footsteps and rhythmic textures, blurs the line between sound design and songcraft, grounding the ethereal quality of Reid’s voice. Her vocals arrive almost instantly—delicate yet commanding—enveloped in a reverb-drenched glow that gives them an almost spectral presence. There’s an innate warmth in her delivery, a lilt that makes even the song’s quietest moments feel magnetic. The outro is a particular highlight, dissolving into a mantra-like refrain as she repeats the phrase “All in Time,” allowing the song to fade like breath on a cold windowpane. The track lingers like the last traces of daylight in winter—faint but persistent, casting long shadows that feel as comforting as they are fleeting.
