“Love the Way It Makes You Feel” – Harley Sulé

Harley Sulé is no stranger to the world of music. As half of the London hip-hop duo, The Rizzle Kicks, as well as the man behind the mask of Jimi Charles Moody, his old school rock project, it’s safe to say Sulé has spent time making records that span many genres. However, 2020 finds Sulé stepping out on his own, without his mask and band mates, and the result is quite charming.

Brighton-based Sulé’s latest single, “Love the Way It Makes You Feel,” is a soulful, somewhat-stripped piano ballad, reflective and full of feeling. Opening with an emotive piano intro, Sulé eases into the song with smooth, effortless vocals. As he sings, the lyrics reflect on time spent with an almost-true friend, a friend no longer around. The piano plods distinctly on, and seems to pull listeners into its simple, yet elegant, melody.

You love the way it made you feel alive
You love the way it makes you feel alright
You never had to pay the bill,
You werent allowed to get that far
Cause you’re doing all the right things
Performing when the lights are fading

As the song goes on, Sulé loses himself in emotion, wondering what might’ve gone wrong, questioning the friendship he’s written about. After the bridge, the tempo slows and Sulé’s vocals grow distant, and the final chorus echoes itself, almost as if mimicking a sure ending.

You hate to be alone
You hate to be alone
Cause everything you are isn’t good enough for you
isn’t good enough for you
You’ll die for your reflection, pretending
that even though you’re cool you’re never good

Though Harley Sulé expertly makes music spanning all sorts of genres, his latest solo project is a realm in which he surely shines. Stream both of Sulé’s singles, “Something Good” and “Love the Way It Makes You Feel” wherever you listen to music!
