Alt-pop dreamer Ria Timkin steps back into the spotlight with the bold and cinematic “Our Time”. Timkin blends rich vocals, atmospheric synths and bold rhythms into an evocative soundscape. Ria Timkin first made waves as a solo artist, releasing a string of singles that culminated in a performance at the legendary Glastonbury Festival. Seeking to expand her sound, she has teamed up with Jamie McNamee on bass and synth and Harry Whyte on drums, forming a full band to bring her cinematic alt pop vision to life. Her upcoming EP, ‘Favourite Child’, arrives in April 2026 and delves into the emotional rollercoaster of chasing your dreams, from being paralysed by fear and doubt to reclaiming your power and stepping boldly into the unknown.
Ria’s momentum continues to build as she recently received support from BBC Introducing and showcased her live credentials at a packed Output Belfast performance, Ireland’s premier music conference. “Our Time” was recorded with Tom Wilding at Wildingsounds in Bristol, who also recorded and co-produced the first single from the EP called “The Difference”. Wilding has previously worked with Melanie C, Gabrielle Aplin and Shane Filan. “Our Time” is a promise to yourself to keep going, a reminder that though hardships, failures and obstacles are inevitable, it’s the unwavering faith in your own path that will carry you through. This song explores the feeling of an absolute trust that your time will come, no matter how long the road or how heavy the doubt. It encompasses that steadfast belief that you will not do it alone, that the right people will stay and stand by your side.
