Stephan Folkes stretches truth in soul-stirring “Say it like you mean it (longer version)”

Stephan Folkes

UK artist Stephen Folkes drops “Say it like you mean it (longer version),” a bold & beautiful detour. At nearly five minutes long, the track is the equivalent of a slow exhale, a gentle, drawn-out conversation that isn’t clamoring toward a finish line, and that’s precisely the point.

An uprising voice from the UK’s scene, Folkes offers listeners a room that feels emotionally raw and sonically polished. “Say it like you mean it” (current version). The extended version of “Say it Like You Mean It” isn’t just a bonus cut; it’s a head-in, full-bodied experience that embraces vulnerability with poetic grace. Every line feels lived-in, like Folkes is unloading conversation that most of us have had somewhere around 2 a.m. when truth stings a bit more, and silence says more than speech.

There is a palpable restraint from the first note, not the tentativeness. The production is minimal but tailored, allowing the warmth of Folkes’s vocal delivery to take the lead. His voice exists in a state between ache and acceptance throughout, never once over-singing, though constantly uttering precisely what it has to. That fine line between confession and craft  gives the song such longevity.

What’s most striking is how the song breathes. The instrumental, pacing, and pauses between lines allow listeners to feel, think, and connect. In a culture trained on the skip button, Folkes assumes his audience will stick around, sit with the emotion, and listen, and the trust pays off.

With “Say it like you mean it (longer version),” Stephan Folkes stretches the tune and deepens its effect. It’s a great reminder that sometimes when you slow down and savor the moment, the message hits closer to the heart. If you’re yearning for good music that feels true, though, this is one worth spinning because it feels honest. Let it sink in a little further each time.
