GLVES Gets Liminal In New Single 'Time' And Companion Music Video
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 music video.
At its core, Time is about connection: a reflection on how presence is the most radical form of love we can give. It’s the antithesis of loneliness — an exploration of the quiet ways we reach for each other, and for ourselves, in a world that so often pulls us apart.
Time is another captivating release from GLVES (pronounced Gloves), a Magandjin-based alt-pop interdisciplinary artist. Known for her layered vocals, rich electronic textures, and immersive storytelling, GLVES crafts music that lives between worlds — emotive, imaginative, and resonant. She has performed at major festivals including Dark Mofo, Splendour in the Grass, Ministry of Sound Classical, and 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 music video 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 Music Video Awards and Best Music Video at the 2022 Sydney Women’s International Film Festival, and Highly Commended Music Video 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 music video will be released on May 21 (after 11:00PM AEST) on all platforms.
