GLVES Gets Liminal In New Single 'Time' And Companion Video musicale

As part of her latest sensory experiment, First Nations artist GLVES unveils Time — a lush and luminous piece of alt-pop — on Wednesday, May 21 (from 11:00PM AEST after a world premiere on Triple J), accompanied by a stunning, dreamlike video musicale.

Al suo nucleo, il Tempo riguarda la connessione: una riflessione su come la presenza sia la forma più radicale di amore che possiamo dare. È l’antítesi della solitudine – un’esplorazione dei modi tranquilli in cui ci raggiungiamo gli uni per gli altri, e per noi stessi, in un mondo che così spesso ci separa.

Time è un altro rilascio affascinante di GLVES (pronunciato Guanti), un artista alt-pop interdisciplinare con sede a Magandjin. Conosciuta per le sue voci stratificate, le ricche texture elettroniche e la narrazione immersiva, GLVES crea musica che vive tra mondi: emotivo, immaginativo e risonante. Ha suonato in importanti festival tra cui Dark Mofo, Splendour in the Grass, Ministry of Sound Classical e Yabun.

With her signature blend of cinematic pop, Time offers a more light-filled take on GLVES’ evolving sound. Anchored by her unmistakable voice, shimmering synths, and afrobeat-inspired rhythms, the track is polished and dynamic — showcasing GLVES as both emotionally powerful and creatively distinct.

The video musicale extends this sensibility, leaning into the surreal and futuristic. It’s a testament to the vision that earned her Best Cinematography at the 2021 Reels Video musicale Awards and Best Video musicale at the 2022 Sydney Women’s International Film Festival, and Highly Commended Video musicale at the 2021 Queensland Music Awards.

Directed by Butchulla/Kamilaroi filmmaker Rhianna Malezer and choreographed by Ewamian, Cobble Cobble, Birri, and South Sea Islander artist Allirah Fisher, this First Nations women-led project was produced by GLVES with support from Arts Queensland.

Set across shifting, liminal spaces, the video features GLVES moving through water, fabric, and soft glowing light — ultimately joined by a sisterhood of dancers. She shares:

“Each scene is a fragment — something remembered, something hoped for — reflecting the quiet courage it takes to meet something fully, whether within yourself or someone else. I’m incredibly proud of what we created.”

GLVES’ new single Time and accompanying video musicale will be released on May 21 (after 11:00PM AEST) on all platforms.
