Review: Time Is Now White has been one of the most exciting sub-label imprints to keep an eye on in 2022 so far, with seemingly a release a week from some of the most exciting names in UKG. Yemi kicks off his latest appearance with two collaborations with Bria, firstly on the day-party sounding arrangements of 'Never Let You Go', doused in smooth chord progressions and clicking percussion. She then arrives again on the horn-driven sweeps of 'Smooth Talkin', which comes complete with its bubbling instrumental version as well. From here, the more blippy sounds of 'My Heart' wade into view, focussing on a slower tempo of garage roller, but being nonetheless potent for it. To round off, 'Soul Food' delivers another bubbling display of modernized garage flavour with vocal chops working some serious magic throughout, before 'Tension' sees us out with an airy masterclass of vocal sampling and synthetic joy. Lovely work.
