Eli Halden offers, for saying goodbye to the old year, his new song “Down” – a hybrid that is instantly ready for the stage. Listeners are in for indie pop crossed with a funky groove and a fiery gospel-blues soul. This is one of his most emotionally direct releases. The track begins with gripping bass lines and syncopated drums, deliberately imitating a pulsating live melody.
Then the tension breaks into a wide-screen gospel-pop chorus with soaring harmonies. Eli’s signature sound: soulful, bold, and perfectly balanced – polished, but not overloaded. Lyrically, “Down” perfectly conveys the gap between big ambitions and the harsh realities of survival.
