New single from Feliks Divelli

Originally hailing from a suburb north of Stockholm, singer-songwriter Feliks Divelli embarked on his musical journey by performing in school and devouring Coldplay tutorials on YouTube. A decade ago, he joined a group of friends, spending summers busking and traveling throughout Europe, crafting a strong foundation for his future endeavors.

Intrigued by his experiences abroad, Feliks took the bold step of leaving Sweden to explore new horizons. What followed were years of cutting his teeth in the UK music scene, playing open mics and various gigs while steadily building his reputation. The songs Divelli penned during this period ultimately found their way onto his debut EP, We Won’t Be Forever, released in 2016.

Since then, he’s unveiled a string of singles that distil the evolution of his sonic vision. While Divelli’s early work was influenced by the likes of Coldplay and U2, his later inspiration draws from artists such as Bon Iver and Night Traveler. He has also ventured into the realm of electronic dance music (EDM), collaborating with Jonas Eb on the 2021 single “Without You,” which has clocked nearly a hundred thousand streams on Spotify.

Now, Feliks Divelli introduces us to his latest release with the single “4 AM,” a song first written during the peak of lockdown in early 2021 and released on the BIMM Hamburg 2021 Album. However, Feliks envisioned a different direction for it, leading him to create the version of “4 AM” that he’s now released as a single and will feature on his upcoming full-length record.

Opened by the gentle pulse of warm synth textures, wisps of delicate sonic fabric swell as Feliks’ airy voice enters, draping rhythmic vocal flutters above as a distant beat kicks and snaps quietly below. With the line “and if I don’t fall asleep at night, it’s ‘cos you occupy my mind,” he ushers in a stunning chorus of alternative pop.

Forming a blissful arrangement of smooth, jangly guitar plucks, a soothing patter of percussion and warm bass tones, all capped by the soulful vocal leads of Feliks. Stripping it back to a tranquil moment of acoustic guitar strums and solo voice, the song glides into one final chorus before fading out and floating the listener back down from the dreamy place the song takes you to. It’s a truly stunning song that signals the latest chapter of his musical adventure while building excitement for his forthcoming album release.
