Album Review: Ella Eyre – Everything, In Time

Patience, resilience, release.

Ella Eyre’s Everything, In Time is a measured, emotionally grounded return that values patience over spectacle. Shaped by independence, loss and recovery, the album frames time as an ally rather than an obstacle, revealing an artist who sounds richer, freer and firmly in control of her own narrative. After rebuilding her voice following vocal surgery, she sounds grainier now, carrying a weight that makes even its softest moments feel earned. This is not a comeback engineered for relevance, but rather a deliberate reset.

The album is rooted in themes of fate, manifestation and surrender. Again and again, Eyre frames time as a collaborator rather than an obstacle, adopting an “if it’s meant to be” philosophy that underpins the entire record. The title track opens with warmth and restraint, immediately recalling the soulful honesty of Feline.

Early highlights establish the album’s strengths. “High on the Internet” delivers a sharp but conversational critique of digital dependency, while “domino szn” leans into romantic escapism through punchy R&B drums and euphoric release. “This shit hurts” stands out as the record’s emotional centerpiece, pairing dynamic vocals with sparse but impactful production that rewards repeated listens.

Not every track lands with the same force. “Red Flags & Love Hearts” feels too firmly tied to its moment, its reliance on fleeting cultural shorthand undercutting its staying power and the album does lose momentum across sections of its second half. These moments feel more like restraint than missteps, but they prevent the record from fully sustaining its early momentum.

The closing stretch reframes the album entirely. “Rain in Heaven – Demo” strips away polish in favor of vulnerability, offering a fragile meditation on disappointment, endurance and self-forgiveness. It is a brave and intimate ending that clarifies the album’s real intention: intimacy over spectacle.

Everything, In Time is not revolutionary, but it is resolute. It captures an artist no longer chasing pop machinery, instead trusting her own pace. Ella Eyre returns sounding grounded, honest and fully in control of her narrative, proving that growth, given time, can be its own quiet triumph.
