Musical duo on a high with new single release
A Coatbridge singer and her musical partner are getting set for the release of their new single.
Legal High is the exciting and energetic new track from Scottish pop duo The Eves, Marissa Keltie and Caroline Gilmour.
The new song, which will be available from Friday, comes hot on the heels of the pair’s outstanding last release, Brand New Day.
Coatbridge’s Marissa and Caroline, of Edinburgh, have perfected an infectious, high-energy pop style and their “intuitive musicality, unforgettable vocals and positive vibe” are winning them an army of new fans.
The self-penned Legal High looks set to build on the recent success of Brand New Day, which spent an impressive five weeks on the BBC Radio 2 playlist, garnering support from the likes of Ken Bruce, Zoe Ball and Steve Wright.
The track reached number six and 15 in the itunes pop charts and itunes main download chart respectively, charted in the Amazon “New Hot Releases” UK chart, and made an impressive debut in the top 75 of the UK Official Charts Company download and single charts.
A placing on Spotify’s New Pop UK playlist was the icing on the cake.
Marissa and Caroline are musicians, songwriters, coproducers and performers, marking them down as ones to watch since they joined forces three years ago.
Written earlier this year after Caroline and Marissa experienced a burst of creativity, the new single is all about “that feeling of intoxication when you are falling in love with someone”.
The Eves worked with renowned producer Lewis Gardner, who has collaborated with the likes of Nick Jonas and Ellie Goulding, to hone the catchy, upbeat song.
Citing influence from pop royalty such as Dua Lipa and Miley Cyrus with Legal High, Marissa said: “Love is a powerful, scary and exciting feeling and we
wanted this song to convey that energy – that full-on, in-your-face buzz and anticipation.
“It’s just brilliant to be back performing live and we can’t wait to see what else 2021 holds.
“It was so invigorating to see the incredibly warm reception for Brand New Day, so we are so excited to release another track and build on that success, giving
old and new fans alike another new pop fix.”
Caroline added: “Some of us will have experienced that special feeling at one point in our lives when you meet someone who has turned your life upside down – your senses and emotions are heightened, and your every thought is about that special someone making you feel like
you are flying and high on life.
“Legal High is all about capturing the joy and fear of that addictive feeling.
“It’s such an exciting time and with gigs also back on the menu, we can’t wait to see what else 2021 has in store.”
Legal High will be available to buy, stream and download on all major platforms on Friday.
