Carla Conrad jumped through some hoops in order to see her single “Master of Time” through to completion beyond merely writing the song. She completed an online course with Berklee called Production Fundamentals for Singer-Songwriters on Ableton. She worked in Qatar for five months to save the funds to record the single and worked with producer Ben Ludik. None of which would mean much if the quality of the song wasn’t there. But “Master of Time” is a sonically rich pop song of grand, sweeping dynamics that augment her own commanding vocals. It’s arc is one of humble beginnings almost like the story of her own process in the journey of making the song but couched in the narrative of a relationship parallel to personal development. Through the song Conrad sheds the limitations that held her back, psychological, interpersonal, relational, to embrace her own power as a human unsullied by habits of mind and feeling that no longer serve her development as a human being who encourages others to follow their own paths against the odds of discouragement and stumbling blocks that all of us adopt at some point avoiding the “tall poppy syndrome” that so often stunts our progress as a species toward a world that cultivates everyone.
