Time of My Life is the tenth studio album by Irish singer-songwriter Ronan Keating. The album was released on 12 February 2016 by Decca Records.

Background

In July 2014, Ronan Keating revealed that he had signed a new three album contract with Decca Records, saying: "Maybe I'm not valid but that's fine, I’m valid to myself, my family and the people who like my music."[1] Ronan Keating announced the album on 25 November 2015 writing: "It's taken a year to write but in that time I have given the most honest piece of me."[2] Keating has said the album was inspired by his wife Storm Uechtritz, whom he married in August 2015: "I think it's my best yet. I’m in a great headspace, the songs are all very optimistic and positive. I'm at this place in my life, I feel very secure. It’s all optimism and hope – it's because of this woman. I feel very lucky."[3]

Time of My Life is Ronan Keating's first studio album in four years (since 2012's Fires), which is the longest span between two albums. Keating has said the album took a year to write and record: "It’s the longest I’ve ever spent making a record so it was a real pleasure to have the time to write and record without the pressure of having to rush to meet a particular deadline."[4]

Ronan Keating said of the title, which comes from the song of the same name: "I threw around different ideas. It was gonna be Breathe, it was gonna be In Your Arms, and Time of My Life just felt right because I definitely feel I'm in my prime, you know—the best time in my life. And this albums reflects that."[5]

Singles

On 25 December 2015 the album was made available for pre-order on iTunes Store with "Falling Slowly" released on the same date as an "instant-grat" track. The album's lead single "Let Me Love You" was released on 4 January 2016.[6] The music video for the song premiered on 15 January 2016. It features Ronan Keating performing the song the South Bank in London, England as a group of buskers. Ronan Keating has said that the music video "mirrors where I am in my life and the way I now live it: optimistic, happy and without pretence".[7]

"Breathe" was released as the album's second single on 1 April 2016.[8][9]

Critical reception

Writing for The Times, Will Hodgkinson gave the album two out of five stars, and wrote: "Time of My Life sticks to the kind of soft acoustic balladry that neither offends nor excites, with Keating singing one mellifluous song about true love after another."[10]
