Eva Nolia Vae’s latest single, “Feel The Sun,” falls into the latter category and is a visceral, immersive experience that shows us that music is a feeling.
A self-made artist who entered music later in life, Eva has a raw authenticity that’s hard to come by and delicious. “Feel The Sun” is a sonic quilt stitched with old-school jazz, psychedelic rock, soul, R&B, and indie alternative, giving off enchilada vibes that are both nostalgic and otherworldly. The way she blends these influences flows into a track that’s as unpredictable as it is hypnotic, a midnight jam session where Janis Joplin, Erykah Badu, and Pink Floyd crash together.
“Feel The Sun” is a song about releasing the exhale after the storm, the warmth that comes after the cold. Eva’s vocals have a lived-in wisdom, leading you through shadowy self-reflection before bursting into golden light. It’s the kind of song that sneaks up on you, beginning low and slow, swirling into complex instrumental strata, then just when you think you know where it’s going, taking a move you didn’t anticipate.
But what truly sets Eva Nolia Vae apart is not specifically her genre-blurring sound but the sheer honesty in her artistry. She isn’t afraid to be unrefined, to let the music breathe, and to allow the cracks to show where the soul lives.
With “Feel The Sun,” Eva wants to do more than hold your attention. She wants you to feel. And trust us, you will.
