Bingkai Karya– Elliot James Reay, a 22-year-old viral artist, has released his second single, “Boy In Love,” today. Reay has since signed with Interscope / Island EMI and has released his first album since his sensational, independently released debut “I Think They Call This Love.”
Elliot James Reay’s sophomore single, which follows the dreamy ballad and soaring vocals of his debut, continues to fully embrace the 50s and 60s’ style and contemplate the same immutable, head-over-heels kind of love, albeit with a more upbeat and rock n’ roll tone.
Reay, who comes from Bury, Greater Manchester, England, was influenced by the music of performers such as Elvis Presley and Roy Orbison from a young age. He now incorporates this sound into his music. His viral popularity was initially derived from his endearing tribute to that era of culture and music, which captivated millions of viewers and listeners with his own music.
“Boy In Love” is a reaffirmation of Reay’s refreshing revival of that pioneering era of rock n roll and a testament to his permanence. The song was written by Reay and Annielle Lisiuk, with production and composition credits going to SOAP, a Manchester-based duo consisting of Josh Noble and Karl Ziegler.
James Slater directed the video for “Boy In Love,” which was filmed on the streets of Reay’s birthplace of Bury.
