Sonny Elliot – Adore You (2020)
Sonny Elliot is an indie-folk duo formed by brothers Chris (acoustic guitar, vocals) and Joe Peden (piano, electric guitar) in late 2018. Their debut EP received plenty of online support and acclaim. The brothers are now back with their new single ‘Adore You’.
The song looks at how hard it is to watch someone you adore and who only wants to help others slowly fall apart. The lyrics of the track navigate how all you can do is be there for them. This is a very personal song full of raw honesty.
‘Adore You’ draws you in with the soft and flowing melody. There is a simplicity to the arrangement that is beautiful with a light touch of sadness. The piano lines that move in and out of the melody creating a delicate and fragile thread to the song. The floating melody has a lightness that weaves around you and moves you.
It is not only the melody that is delicate and fragile. Chris Peden’s vocals have a raw honesty that is powerful and emotive. His performance is hypnotising and rich while breaking your heart. There is an imploring tone to the vocals that tug at your heart and make you want to believe in what he is saying.
Sonny Elliot leaves you emotional as they combine raw honesty, fragile tones and delicate vocals on ‘Adore You’. The song gently flows over you with a gentle touch that leaves a hint of sadness in its wake. The imploring tone of the song makes you yearn for resolution.
