eill | happy ending (Official Lyric Video)

Singer-songwriter eill, who used to belong to plasónica and made headlines in 2018 when she changed her name from ENNE.

Her 9th digital single “happy ending,” chosen as the theme song for the dating reality show Love Transit, is striking for its contrast between airy production and her sultry vocals.

The lyrics, which depict complex feelings toward a partner, convey the difficulty of love that can’t be neatly defined in black and white.

It’s a heart-wrenching track with a comfortable beat and a sentimental melody that tightens your chest.
