Boasting a rowdy, rebellious and vibrant sonic character, ‘Purple Haze’ can be seen as a refined alt-pop gem framed into an eclectic, hard-hitting livery. Introduced by a guitar-sounding riff with decisively metal influences, the track subsequently blooms into a monumental, charming pop banger, guided by the evocative and heartshaking vocals of Vienna-based phenomenon Nefeli.
The single follows up on the 21-year-old’s debut effort ‘2Young2Late, released earlier this year. Upon a quick comparison, we can extract the pillars of the ‘Nefeli sound’ – big beats, distorted guitars and gritty synth tones, all resulting in fierce and bold anthems. ‘Purple Haze’ continues in that direction, showcasing the unwavering energy and stamina the Greek/Austrian creative has to offer.
The single anticipates Nefeli’s upcoming album ‘Trinity’, a record we look forward to. Speaking about the lyricism behind ‘Purple Haze’, she explains: “It delves into the complex emotional landscape of desire and danger, exploring the allure of a partner’s intoxicating yet perilous world.”
