JULIE EDDY – WHERE DOES THE TIME GO?
JULIE EDDY returns with ‘Where Does The Time Go’, an intimate country ballad that celebrates the quiet moments that define lasting love. Built around heartfelt storytelling, warm, understated production, and an unforgettable chorus, the song reflects on how life’s seemingly ordinary days become the memories that shape a lifetime.
Eddy shares,“‘Where Does The Time Go?’ explores the kind of moments that seem small and mundane at the time but end up making up the majority of your life spent together. “A continuation of the storyline from ‘BPM’ on my previous album Playing House, this song doubles down on the fact that a slow, peaceful love will stand the test of time over the one that feels like a head rush.”
‘Where Does The Time Go’ is out today across all streaming platforms. Listen below…
THBENJ – COUNT TO TEN
After stepping away from social media, THBENJ used the resulting silence to reconnect with himself—channeling that stillness directly into ‘Count to ten.’ Grounded solely on a raw vocal performance and an electric guitar, the song is a direct antidote to our relentless hustle culture and the daily distractions of modern life. It’s an intimate invitation to take a breath, drop your shoulders, and tune out a money-driven world on your own terms.
In an era of constant noise, Thbenj deliberately resists overstimulating the listener— Leaning into space, dynamic restraint, and pure honesty over wall-of-sound production. Anchored by a refusal to “grow old into bitterness, ‘Count to ten’ is a quiet, fearless rebellion-showing that the best way forward isn’t running faster, but standing still, taking a moment to take a breath.
‘Count to ten’ is out today across all streaming platforms. Why not listen below…
