“It’s time to lock in, believe in yourself, and get ready for whatever it is you’re hoping for”: a message delivered through genuinely compelling music!
The particular quality that distinguishes Lauren Akosia as an artist is the seamlessness with which her work across television, theatre and music informs and enriches each other, the emotional intelligence of a trained classical performer finding its fullest expression in songs that carry the depth and conviction of someone who has spent years understanding how to communicate genuine feeling to an audience. ‘It’s Time’, her vibrant new Afro-house and electronic dance release, brings all of that background to bear on a motivational anthem that functions as both personal declaration and collective invitation.
The production blends energetic South African-inspired house rhythms with contemporary Afrobeats influences and atmospheric electronic textures in a combination that gives the track its immediately physical, dancefloor-ready character while Akosia’s signature storytelling approach keeps the emotional content present and meaningful rather than lost in pure sonic exhilaration. The result is a song that works as motivation and as music simultaneously: the uplifting message about pursuing dreams, enjoying the journey and stepping confidently toward the future arriving through a groove infectious enough to make the act of believing it feel effortless.
Akosia’s credits include her role as Carmelita in the BAFTA Award-winning BBC One drama Mr Loverman and Jenny in Season 3 of Whitstable Pearl, alongside stage performances at London’s Royal Albert Hall, Wembley Arena and the National Theatre of Ghana. Her debut single ‘Let It Go’ earned her a nomination for Best International Act of the Year at the 2026 Ghana Music Awards USA. Produced by Jajii alongside Akosia herself, ‘It’s Time’ continues the evolution of an artist who occupies a genuinely unique space where Afro-house, deep house, Afrobeats, R&B and electronic dance music intersect.
