Owae Captures Transient Feelings on New Single “Time”
Charlotte, NC artist Owae offers his most exposed and emotionally poignant song yet with “Time,” a late-summer soundtrack that embodies nostalgia, celebration, and melancholy in equal parts. “Time” represents Owae's growing reputation as a genre-bending rapper, singer, and storyteller, willing to take his lived experience and present it in a way that can spark universal reflections.
“Time” describes the bittersweet feeling of transitory joy, that feeling we all have when even the most unforgettable nights and weekends go by in a flash. Owae matches (and complements) relaxed guitar riffs and breezy beats with lyrics that express thoughts and feelings about champagne parties, and the unhurried sadness of leaving on a Sunday morning, “They say the days are long, but the years are short… Wish I could hit record, and have every moment stored.” Owae's heartfelt confession is so relatable that it can be instantly recalled, just like many of our memories.
The production embraces lo-fi textures and warm, sun-soaked instrumentation, channeling elements of artists such as Mac Miller, Kota the Friend, or Rexx Life Raj. The outcome is a track that feels both chill and cinematic and fits perfectly while driving at sunset, saying goodbye at the airport, or reflecting on memories you'd like to last forever. A large part of the appeal of "Time" lies in its balance; celebrating everything we love about being at the high point of living in the moment while recognizing the inevitability of day after day, or season after season.
In addition, this single marks a new beginning for Owae as an artist. While he established a comedic style and chaotic energy in previous tracks like "Dump Truck Trouble Bubble Double Wide," he demonstrates the depth of his writing and his ability to create vulnerability and timeless storytelling in his new music. And the fact that he has already accumulated more than 170,000 views across platforms despite only releasing a handful of songs proves he can connect with audiences in more than one regard.
In the end, "Time" is not just an end-of-summer anthem; it is a reminder of the ephemeral, precious nature of our best moments. With a sincere message, infectious hook, and adaptable production means that Owae has established itself as a rising voice in hip-hop and alt-pop worth keeping an eye on.
