Iuliano - Time

Iuliano’s new single “Time” sounds like a friend venting to you about thoughts they never tell anyone. The Italian singer-songwriter and producer, who has spent years moving between Italy, Malaysia, and Thailand, has come back with a more humble sound. It is reflective and grounded which makes it so special. The first thing that sticks out is his voice. It is thick and raspy and almost sounds like a whisper. There is a softness to it, but also a bit of wear, like he has lived with these words for a ling time before recording them. The production is minimal at the start but then unfurls eventually. It is accompanied by a low hum and harmonies that add colors to the main voice. Eventually, guitars start to come in, adding a gritty texture without taking over. The song also makes use of beatboxing alongside drum productions that make it sound more raw and authentic. It is not flashy, but it adds a pulse that keeps things moving. By the time the drums fully arrive in the bridge, the change feels natural and refreshing. The soundscape is very unique in its own way. “Time” lies somewhere between stripped-down indie and soft experimental pop. Fans of ambient artists will find a lot to like here. I could hear some Radiohead influences here and there. Every sound feels intentional, and there is enough room in the mix for the listener to sit with the emotions. The song talks about the passage of time, moments slipping by, and the small things that stick with you. It feels like overhearing someone process life in real time. You could easily imagine “Time” playing during a quiet scene in Aftersun, where characters sit with their choices and the weight of what could have been. Read More
