Rafa ft Sam Welch – Forever Love (2021)

Rafa had us grooving to his infectious vibe with his debut single ‘Fight No More’. He is now ready to get the party started with his glowing single ‘Forever Love’. Teaming up again with Sam Welch, the pair fill you with a sense of carefree living. The single will also have you prioritising human connections over material possessions.

With a blast of electronic pop, Rafa and Welch will have you smiling and feeling warm. While Rafa relies on his own sense of curiosity, his grooves compel you to move and get lost in the sunny pressure of his sound. If you need a single that lifts you out of the winter blues or gets your summer party started, this is the one for you.



‘Forever Love’ pulls you into the good vibes from the first summery tones. There is a pool party feeling to the melody that makes you think about warm summer days spent having fun with friends. The beats get your head moving or your shoulders bouncing to them. On the chorus, the music gets a deeper feeling that is enhanced by the higher tones that dance against your ears. These tones come into their own as the single progresses and make you smile. While the music makes you want to move, there is a laid-back vibe that warms you.

Welch’s vocals have an infectious vibe to them as they bolster the sunny feeling of the music. This enhances the lyrics which considers a forever love and the emotions this brings. Through his performance, you are taken on a mental journey through the bliss of love and the knowledge that this could be the only person for you. The infectious tones of the vocals will get you wanting to sing along as you realise that money can’t buy forever love.

Rafa teams up with Sam Welch to consider love, money and emotions to the laid-back summer tones of ‘Forever Love’. The melody has a wonderful warmth that makes you think of sunny days and laid-back fun. The vocals have greater depth than you imagine as they consider falling in love and how material possessions can’t bring the same feeling.
