Why do we like this?

Stockholm-based artist Elias has just released intriguing new single, "Green Eyes." All I can say is: damn - what is this sorcery!?

Produced by GRADES & Cass Lowe, the track is the second offering from Elias' debut WARCRY EP, which also sees a release today via Warner. 

"Green Eyes" is a soaring, powerfully soulful track which is fraught with tension, yet possesses some strange tenderness. Elias' deep, sorrowful vocal is as stripped back as it is hard-hitting, showing the diversity of the future/electro-soul aesthetic in being able to transcend a number of genre boundaries. The swelling choral parts add another element of interest, and I feel the risks taken in this track has made it a definite standout, reminding me very much of Vicktor Taiwò's "Digital Kids".

Be sure to head over to Elias' Facebook page for links to the EP.

By RSkotarczyk on Jan 14, 2017 | This isn't new, no, but this remix of "These Hands" isn't on the Shuffle yet and it should be. Sometimes music and artists find us precisely when we need them. I'm a very recent fan of Samm Henshaw, but while I'm discovering more of him and his work... read more →
