There’s something wonderfully timeless about Patti Zlaket’s new single “Clock Keeps Tickin’.” From the very first notes, the song feels like a warm conversation between past and present — a piece that understands how precious every moment is, yet refuses to let nostalgia slow it down. It’s fresh, it’s classy, and it’s filled with the kind of feeling that only a seasoned artist like Zlaket can deliver.
Produced by Tariqh Akoni — whose impressive credits include work with Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, and Weezer — the track instantly glows with polish and precision. Legendary bassist Lee Sklar, known for his work with Phil Collins and James Taylor, brings an effortless groove that gives the song its heartbeat. Together, they help Zlaket create a sound that feels both ageless and alive. At its heart, “Clock Keeps Tickin’” is a beautifully written reflection on life’s unstoppable pace. The melody flows like sunlight through an open window, while Patti’s voice — smooth yet filled with quiet power — reminds us that time moves on, no matter how we feel. There’s a gentle mix of hope and wistfulness, wrapped in an arrangement that sparkles with soft pop sophistication. You can almost picture a classic British radio show host saying, “And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you do timeless songwriting.” What’s especially lovely about this track is how easy it is to enjoy. Even younger listeners can feel the message — that every moment counts, and that even when life feels uncertain, the rhythm of time can be a friend if you let it dance beside you.
For Patti Zlaket, “Clock Keeps Tickin’” isn’t just another single — it’s a triumphant return, a gentle reminder that passion never truly fades. With her heartfelt delivery and elegant songwriting, Zlaket proves that music, like time itself, is eternal. It’s a song that lingers — soothing, soulful, and unmistakably sincere. One listen, and you’ll find yourself humming long after the final note fades.
