Share this article

    (June 18, 2021) Over the past few years, Bahamian-born Ania Garvey has released a handful of kinetic soul singles to welcoming audiences in the UK. Her 2019 collaboration with Japan’s T-Groove, “Let’s Feel Good,” as well as that year’s “He Asked Me,” both featured her sophisticated stylings over nu-disco grooves with memorable hooks.

    Now, the former track and field competitor and bank manager by day is realizing her musical dreams with her soon-to-be-released debut album, White Fire. Dipping into classic disco territory, Garvey says her decision to pursue singing after concentrating for many years on motherhood was inspired by a chance meeting with the late Donna Summer. While a cover of the Queen of Disco’s “Last Dance” is expected shortly, Garvey is giving SoulTracks readers an exclusive first taste of White Fire with the buoyant “Take Your Time.”

    Showcasing subtly sensual shades of Garvey’s vocal palette, the mellifluent verses and choruses of “Take Your Time” are punctuated by sparkly horn riffs and groovy guitar licks. This makes for a nostalgic and celebratory atmosphere that avoids the pull to go over the top and instead moves and lifts with a balanced flow of bounce and beauty.
