Out now idol-io.ffm.to/darkeyes - Taking her cue from a traditional gypsy melody half-remembered from her childhood, new signing, London-based singer SONIA ELISHEVA drops a memorable and punchy NEO SOUL meets ELECTRO SWING crossover.
The first single from her forthcoming album has echos of Lily Allen's LDN, crossed with an Eastern European folk heritage and Mark Ronson style production courtesy of THE SOULMATE PROJECT.
The video is a darkly comic tale inspired by cult movie THE LOVE WITCH.

LYRICS:
Are you out tonight sweet honey?
I could use a little company
I'm no good if I'm alone
My mind goes to danger zone
I have got a secret
(please don't tell)
There's a man I dream of
(please don't tell)
He's already taken
So my heart is breaking
I think of him every night
Hopefully his wife don't mind
I searched the Earth from left to right
But baby he's the only one that I like
I love his dark eyes
I love his dark eyes
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
I dream of his eyes all the time
I bet he never
Dreams of mine
I love his dark eyes
I love his dark eyes
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
I dream of his eyes all the time
I bet he never
Dreams of mine
Whisky coke
Bacardi gin
I drink just to forget him
It isn't fair
But when he's there
My hearts crashing down the stairs
Sinful thoughts
Don't say them loud
My mama
Would not be proud
I love his dark eyes
I love his dark eyes
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
I dream of his eyes all the time
I bet he never
Dreams of mine
I love his dark eyes
I love his dark eyes
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
I dream of his eyes all the time
I bet he never
Dreams of mine
Now I solved the puzzle
All you are is trouble
My mind is a muddle
All you are is trouble
I love his dark eyes
I love his dark eyes
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
I dream of his eyes all the time
I bet he never
Dreams of mine
I love his dark eyes
I love his dark eyes
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
I dream of his eyes all the time
I bet he never
Dreams of mine
