Harry Eley has once again demonstrated his creative prowess with the release of his second single, ‘Happy Hate Story,’ which combines catchy guitar riffs with introspective and intimate lyrics.
Navigating the ambiguity and conflicting feelings of a relationship, the song is an emotional rollercoaster. There is nothing like this level of relatability.
Its production is lyrical and brooding, telling a story with every guitar stroke. The instrumentation on this track goes above and beyond, drawing comparison to the Oasis era of ‘Be Here Now’, that iconic sound that’s crafted to make an impact on a listener.
‘Happy Hate Story’ beautifully captures the battle of contradiction, its the kind of track that’s perfect for your sad episode playlist, when you’re in your feelings. It perfectly captures the turbulence of human emotion.
With each release Harry Eley is proving exactly why he is one to watch. With more releases on their way, it won’t be long before Eley is ruling over the indie scene.
