With immerse synth beats and stunning vocals, LOVER debuts ‘Eagle to the Prey’, a smooth and bubbly soulful pop gem!

‘Eagle to the Prey’ is an impressive debut for Sydney musician Oliver Kirby. LOVER’s distinct sound blends pop and funk with delicate hip-hop production. Working in close quarters with housemates and fellow musicians Tanssi and Oh Boy, it’s no surprise that ‘Eagle to the Prey’ is as delicate and refreshingly dazzling. The production may seem minimalistic, but it’s the fine-tuned detail and R&B influence that really make this effortless tune soar. ‘Eagle to the Prey’  is further enhanced by clever sampling of a dial tone, and later King Krule-esque distortion.

LOVER’s debut track ‘Eagle to the Prey’, is sonically glistening and an impressing debut. I can’t wait to hear what’s next from him!
