Norwegian-Congolese artist Elvic Kongolo has released “Time’s Up,” a disco-funk track that explores the pressure of providing for loved ones and the temporary relief music can offer.
The song centres on the responsibility of supporting family while managing concerns about the future. Its verses address the desire to provide more, while the chorus turns to dancing as a way to find a moment of release without setting those responsibilities aside.
Running for two minutes and 35 seconds, “Time’s Up” combines elements of 1970s and 1980s disco-funk with Afropop and contemporary dance-pop. Kongolo wrote and produced the track, which includes the line “I need the DJ to save my soul.”
Based in Sortland, Northern Norway, Kongolo sings in English, French and Norwegian. His previous releases include “Tequila,” “Let Them Be,” “Beautiful Monday,” “A Change Is Gonna Come” and “Our Story.”
“Time’s Up” is available on streaming platforms.
