This track is cooler than the other side of the pillow.
Wake The Wild’s undeniable chemistry is their greatest strength—and it’s been years in the making. The genre-blending trio first met in middle school jazz band, drifted apart for college, and eventually reunited in Los Angeles. Since then, they’ve made waves with their seamless blend of funk, nu-disco, R&B, retro dance, and pop. With standout singles like “Made For You” and “Guilty Pleasures,” the group continues to build on their signature sound. Their latest release, “Time Zones,” might just be their most vibey track yet.
“Time Zones” is powered by one of the silkiest instrumentals you’ll hear all year—smooth, funky, and dripping with cool. It’s danceable enough to get a room moving, yet mellow enough to soundtrack a slow evening with someone special. Over this lush soundscape, the lead vocalist delivers a dreamy, airy performance that makes you feel like you’re floating, high off life (or maybe something else).
Lyrically, “Time Zones” taps into themes of spontaneity and presence. The song celebrates living in the now and appreciating the little moments—especially with a partner who isn’t caught up in expectations or distant worries. Whether you’re unwinding solo or vibing out with someone close, this track feels tailor-made for golden hour drives and warm summer nights.
