Rock/Review My Glass World - It Only Takes A Minute

My Glass World in its current incarnation has two members: Jamie Telford and Sean Read. They are ably assisted by a range of players such as Steven Gilchrist, Jon Kensington, Little Barrie, and Jimi Scandal, who all have notable pedigrees.

With “It Only Takes A Minute,” My Glass World open a bold new chapter following the success of their 2025 album “Stranded Assets.” Though described by Jamie Telford as a “forgotten track,” the single hardly feels like an afterthought — instead, it arrives as a fully realized surge of urgency, atmosphere, and intent. Released via Luxury Noise Records, the song reveals a darker, more propulsive edge that expands the band’s sonic identity while staying true to their signature lyrical bite.

Built on Jon Kensington’s driving bassline and a persistent motor-rock rhythm, “It Only Takes A Minute” moves with a kind of determined agitation. The momentum never wavers; it presses forward like time itself — relentless, steady, impossible to negotiate with. Telford’s delivery matches that tension, balancing blunt phrasing with a subtle emotional undercurrent. The band leans into sharper textures and a more shadowed mood than on “Stranded Assets,” resulting in a track that feels both urgent and tightly controlled.

The accompanying music video amplifies the single’s thematic core. Through imagery of clocks, headlights, and blurred motion, it visually echoes the song’s fixation on time slipping through our fingers — the fleeting nature of choice, change, and chance. There’s a cinematic quality to the pairing, as though the track serves as the pulse of a restless, ever-moving world.

Ultimately, “It Only Takes A Minute” stands as a compelling statement from My Glass World: a reminder that even overlooked ideas can become powerful catalysts when revisited with honesty, intensity, and purpose.
