Coming from classical and electronic backgrounds respectively, James (from New York) and Josh (from London), who form Ceylon Ceylon, have begun to blend their love of music into a powerful pop sound. They are now set to release two new singles with UK hip hop artist and established soul singer Graziella: the funk driven electro pop track Why Don’t They Love You and follow-up single Ghost.

As the duo explain: “The tracks are written from two different perspectives; Why Don’t They Love You questions how fulfilling it is to love our digital selves more than our analogue selves, while Ghost is a reflection on the emptiness we feel when comparing ourselves to the stream of flawlessness on social media.”

Why Don’t They Love You boasts a vintage synth sound and a killer bass line, all wrapped up in a contemporary production. On top of that musical backdrop, Graziella delivers a sassy vocal performance full of swag.
