Rock/Review Ultan JP - All In Good Time

Ultan JP is a Dublin-based singer-songwriter whose music is steeped in decades of rock 'n' roll energy. Originally from Belfast, he’s been crafting original songs all his adult life, drawing influence from the primal force of early rockers like Jerry Lee Lewis and Eddie Cochran, through the golden eras of the '60s and '70s, and into the hard-hitting sounds of '80s R&B, punk, and heavy metal.

Ultan JP's "All In Good Time" is a powerful hymn of tenacity that is influenced by the setbacks and victories of the creative process. An impromptu riff develops into a complete song that is both individualized and universally relatable. Based on Ultan's personal disappointments, particularly the abandoned video projects, the song turns artistic failure into inspiration. It serves as a striking reminder that often the best ideas come from those that are abandoned.

The track's integrity and natural progression are its strongest points. The voice and message take center stage thanks to the guitar work's subtle yet catchy style. Ultan's lyrics are relatable and clear, resonating with the difficulties of missed deadlines and abandoned projects but ultimately finding a place of optimism and resiliency. Anyone who has ever had to start anew will find solace in the chorus, which came readily during the creative process.

Sonically, "All In Good Time" strikes a mix between polished indie-rock vibes and unadulterated genuineness. It is introspective without becoming self-pitying and inspirational without being sanctimonious. It depicts the emotional terrain of anyone working toward a goal, including the obstacles, the disappointments, and the perseverance required to keep going.

"All In Good Time" is ultimately a message rather than merely a music. A reminder that failure isn't defined by artistic or personal diversions and that, although we can't always control timing in life, perseverance always pays off.
