Leading with a little bit of something lush and lovely – a guitar sound melodic and soulful, followed by an equally evocative tempo in the beat.

The uniquely angelic, falsetto and soulful vocals of Eli Purks return this summer with an expressive synth-pop and RnB crossover track, in the form of the evocative Feels Like Forever.
Deeply evocative songwriting and arrangements, a sense of rising passion that’s heart-breaking and poignant, performatively unique and ambient – soulful and extraordinary.
