5 Reasons You Should Listen to ‘Time’ by Sonny E.

When a veteran artist steps into a new era, the question is always whether reinvention will feel forced or inspired. With Sonny E.’s “Time,” the answer is immediate: inspired. The track is lean, bold, and conceptually sharp, bringing together strands of music history in a way that feels both natural and thrillingly unexpected. Here are five reasons it deserves your attention:

1. A New Genre is Born — Cyberbilly isn’t a gimmick; it’s a genuine fusion of rockabilly swagger and digital innovation, creating a sound you won’t find elsewhere.

2. Brevity with Impact — At just over two minutes, the track wastes no time. Every second carries weight, proving that conciseness can be powerful.

3. Decades in the Making — Written in fragments over the years and only completed now, “Time” reflects an artist who knows when a song is truly ready.

4. Roots and Futures Entwined — The track bridges Tinley’s teenage obsessions with rockabilly and his pioneering work in electronic music, making it both nostalgic and forward-looking.

5. A Statement of Intent — More than a song, “Time” is a manifesto for the Cyberbilly project — proof that Sonny E. is not revisiting his past but transforming it into something entirely new.
