Kelly Monrow ’s latest single, “Time Would Come,” doesn’t announce itself with flashy production or trendy hooks. It unfolds with patience, shaped by an artist who has clearly taken her time arriving at this moment. The track is more of a personal reflection and a quiet assertion of presence.
The Texas-born singer-songwriter, also known for her acting work in Billions, Lucifer, and American Crime Story, continues to build on the foundation she laid with 2022’s album Scars of Venus. “Time Would Come” marks another step in her musical evolution. Produced by Sinclair in Nashville, the song drifts between country-pop and spiritual ballad, guided by an unwavering sense of belief rather than urgency.
The lyrics are deeply personal, but the emotional weight never feels exclusive. When she sings “I knew my time would come,” it feels like she’s telling your story too. Gospel-influenced harmonies and a slow-building arrangement help the song find its shape gradually. Nothing feels rushed, which is the point. Kelly Monrow’s vocal performance is measured, even understated at times, but that calmness is exactly what gives the track its emotional weight. There’s no push to impress. She’s already done the work.
The story behind the song is as essential as the song itself. Written in the wake of personal transformation, shaped by motherhood, and driven by the decision to create without performing for an imagined audience, “Time Would Come” reflects a shift in how Monrow approaches her art. After a life spent playing other people on screen, there’s a welcome stillness in her decision to simply be herself on record.
What makes “Time Would Come” resonate is not how universal its message is, but how particular Kelly Monrow allows it to be. She trusts that whoever needs it will find it. That’s the power of the song, and perhaps the truest sign of where she’s headed next.
