The genre of the artist writing a song for their lover and the process is nothing new. But South African songwriter Wesley West brings to his third single “All The Time” an evocative multi-layered melody from spare guitar, warm vocals, textural percussion, synth figures and atmospherics to give the track a hazy uplift and sub-bass that seems to not only provide a strong backbone for a song with such a delicate emotional sensibility but the current of primary rhythm as well. West articulates in wistful fashion the feeling of having all the time in the world while in the throes of love without it seeming like a pop cliché. We get lost in the moment with him in the rich but subtle backdrop of music that feels like the embrace of the emotion as well.
