The artist formerly known as Jeivenchy, Jeiel Ian Usi Veloria completes his journey to the debut EP under his snappy new solo moniker Jeiel (Jay-El). A deeply moving and club-booming collection, Rabbit Hole bundles together many of the Manila-born Aotearoa rising star’s singles to date, plus new late nite groover ‚7-Eleven‘. Smouldering with romance and boasting impeccable style, Jeiel demonstrates impressive range throughout Rabbit Hole. He’s unafraid to bare his heart on tender R&B anthem ‚The One‘ and soaring piano ballad ‚NVM‘, while upbeat tracks ‚Always On My Mind‘, ‚Thru This‘ and the cyberpunk funk of ‚Wake Up‘ balance Jeiel’s knack for emotive storytelling with irresistible banger energy.
Open your ears to Rabbit Hole then go Into The Rabbit Hole — Jeiel’s free launch show at Tāmaki’s Big Fan on 24th May, an "immersive, Matrix-inspired event… blending fashion, music, and visual storytelling" (sounds amazing!) with special guests galore…
"Rabbit Hole is a collection of songs I wrote when I was way in my head. No matter how much I wish things were different like the other person would act differently or the circumstances would change— they don’t, and I just have to get thru it."
