There is never not a good time to throw on some R&B but as the season’s change and cities around the world get colder R&B as a genre, for me at least, feels extra special. That extra sensory magic that accompanies R&B during the colder months brings me to my introduction to New Zealand’s Mikey Dam and his new single, “Time.” The singer-songwriter’s new release taps into the beautiful marriage between acoustic nylon guitar chords with Dam’s heartfelt vocal performance creating a meaningful narrative of time’s fleeting sensibilities. Clearly written as a sonic timestamp of his life, the burgeoning artist makes it a point to bring listeners into his world, his headspace, and life. It’s this intimate connection that allows this song to resonate with me and the stripped-down style that makes it feel so perfect for the time of the season. It’s more than just a good song, it’s an artist’s testimonial and a beautiful one at that.
