Dublin-born rocker ULTAN JP serves a massive helping of raw humanity with his latest single, ”All In Good Time.” Born in Belfast, ULTAN distills decades of defiant energy into a song that sounds as lived-in as it does urgent. A creation from the ashes of an aborted video project, the song wears the bruises of artistic stumbles and dreams delayed. Rather than hide from that hurt, ULTAN tackles it head-on in a song that glows with heat, oozes strength, and emits the rarest thing of all in rock ‘n’ roll resilience.
ULTAN JP shows that openness is a tool for survival. “All In Good Time” sounds like a reckoning, like a bracing, patient, powerfully uplifting acknowledgment that even when all our plans fall to ruins, there is still beauty to be unearthed from the wreckage. That’s the kind of song that doesn’t just shuffle along but sticks around. Like the echoes of a night drive with the windows down, it frees you and makes you ponder.
The guitar playing here is not flashy but fiercely expressive. A modest swagger behind every strum leaves ULTAN’s voice ample space to spill its raw, unapologetic, and fearless truth. It’s one of those performances that doesn’t ask for attention but that gets it, quietly forcing you to lean in and tune in more closely. This song stands out because it makes no pretensions about what it is. It plants its feet in the dirt and sings from the gut instead. In that way, ULTAN JP keeps the rock and roll spirit alive. He’s reminding us why it counted, to begin with.
