Timing - Emilia Suarez (Pop) Emilia’s track Timing is a driving piano ballad that could have easily been a cut from Adele’s latest album. Classic in its construction, it’s ironic that a song called Timing both seamlessly fits in the modern era and among the canon of ballad standards. Emilia’s vocal is a crystal clear bell, with just a touch of modern breathiness often utilized by the likes of, say, Ariana Grande. Her voice is emotive, passionate, and evokes the feelings behind the haunting lyrics. This kicks into high gear with a heavenly chorus of backgrounds, joined soon by sweeping strings and a light touch percussion, all serving a heavenly cathedral-like miasma of swirling harmonies that wrap the listener into the song. We hear this track on a soundtrack to an indie flick about a complicated love.

Best Lyric: “Is that traumatic or the cost of a moment with you?”
