"Fire" is the first time I've ever come across E L E Y and the gem that he's created feels like a sonic combination of The Weeknd and Miguel over one hell of a soulful instrumental.

The Nashville-based artist has a distinct knack for story telling and this is evident through his gripping songwriting. I really appreciated the manner in which the music video guides the narrative and beautifully captures his journey for his last chance at love before the world ends, even though the romance is plagued with issues. In the chorus his voice soars as E L E Y exhibits his vocals range and at it was at this point when I fell for his emotive vocal performance.
