In Our Own Sweet Time with Vance Joy

It’s summertime, which for many means that it’s time to cram all the fun things possible into a span of three months. While making memories is certainly the main aspiration for people during the sunshine season, sometimes the summer can also feel overwhelming. Busy with social events, work, traveling, etc… It’s nice when you can calm your schedule, relax and enjoy the long, warm days at a relaxed pace. Vance Joy’s newest album “In Our Own Sweet Time” will help you slow down during the hustle of summer and remind you to find the peaceful moments in life with this stunning, indie dream.

The Australia-based artist left an impact on the indie scene with his first debut EP, God Loves You When You’re Dancing and he has been releasing fan favorites ever since. In Our Own Sweet Time is no different, containing twelve new songs that showcase the artist’s talented vocals and reveals the soft side of his personality.

From the sweet, romantic opener “Don’t Fade,” listeners are immediately taken to a dreamy state where they can relax to the soothing tones of Vance Joy. The mellow instrumentals create the perfect ambience for a song that speaks about you and your loved one being together. With lyrics like “Not a single thing needs to change/We can be the light that don't fade away,” it’s clear that this album promotes the idea of taking things slow, and of taking “our own sweet time.”

The rest of the album contains memorable songs, each one reminding the listener to focus on the simple, good things in life. Despite the busyness of summertime, it’s important to slow down and enjoy our loved ones and the little moments we share that bring us happiness. So for a high-quality album that contains talented singing, music that will make you feel strong emotions in the best of way, and a good message, listen to Vance Joy’s In Our Own Sweet Time.

In Our Own Sweet Time is available now on streaming platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music. Check out his website for concert details and more!
