José Ibata, aka Ibatabros, has dropped a soulful gem with his new single, “Travelling In Time”. This alt-country rock anthem captures the winding road of life with irresistible melodies and a nostalgic charm that will leave you humming long after the final note fades.
From the very first gritty guitar riff, “Travelling In Time” pulls you into its warm embrace. The hooky, jangly rhythms dance with a country twang, while the drums hit like a steady heartbeat. And then there’s Ibatabros’ voice—introspective, storytelling, and tinged with a touch of eccentricity. He sings like he’s sharing a fireside tale, musing on life’s journey over the destination. Add in the soulful background vocals and a shimmering organ trail, and you’ve got a track that feels like a warm breeze on an open highway.
What’s most impressive? José plays everything. That’s right—every drumbeat, bassline, guitar lick, and shimmer of percussion is his handiwork, showcasing two decades of musical mastery. With a seamless mix by California producer Matty Harris and co-production by Ibatabros himself, the track is polished to perfection.
But “Travelling In Time” is a glimpse into Ibatabros’ world. Drawing inspiration from legends like Tom Petty, the Rolling Stones, and Joni Mitchell, José fuses his Latin roots with rock, jazz, and funk for a sound that’s uniquely his own.
Whether you’re a long-time Ibatabros admirer or a first-time listener, “Travelling In Time” will leave you feeling both grounded and ready to wander.
Plug in, press play, and let Ibatabros take you on a journey you won’t forget.
