Eli Moon Shares New Single ‘Phases’
Following the release of his smooth single killmeinmysleep, South Londoner Eli Moon is back with his brand new single Phases, out now on MERIDIAN, co-written and produced by MOJAM.
The first single from Moon's upcoming EP Angels Devils & Empty Vessels (Set to arrive in September), Phases is an infectious piece of R&B-infused electro-pop music with a memorable driving beat and a punchy bass-line reminiscent of dark-electro pop songs. Eli Moon's rich, soulful vocals soar beautifully over the upbeat production, infusing it with just the right amount of soul and emotion. There's somewhat of a retro touch to this song that keeps me coming back to it and that driving beat is pure eargasm. Check it out below!
Speaking about the song, Eli Moon said,
Phases is a song about change. Whilst a lot of people seek comfort in life...if I stop for too long and become too comfortable I very quickly start to lose my mind! I wrote this song at a time where I needed something new. Life felt like a never ending cycle of the same activities, same people and I just needed to escape. In the song I deal with the existential crisis that I often find myself in, where I begin to question everyone and everything around me. ‘Why am I here?’ ‘Why am I doing this?’ ‘Is there meaning to any of this?’ I suppose the biggest question is ‘what if it never changes?” And that's how the song arose. My biggest fear is being stuck in a situation where I have no power to affect it. It's not a quiet feeling, it's not a creeper...I wake up one day and there it is; the gut wrenching need to scrap everything and start all over. I suppose life does happen in phases, which is why it's important to understand that no situation lasts forever, and there is never a situation where you have no power to affect it, but I wanted to capture this emotion in a song, so that I have it forever and can always use it in times where I need to be reminded of this.
