Rising viral sensation Elliot James Reay, 22, has released his highly anticipated second single, “Boy In Love.” Following the success of his independently launched debut, “I Think They Call This Love,” Reay has now partnered with Interscope / Island EMI for this latest track. Leaning into his signature style, Reay’s new single maintains the heartfelt essence of classic 50s and 60s music but introduces a more energetic, rock ‘n’ roll vibe. “Boy In Love” is available now across all major digital platforms.
Born and raised in Bury, Greater Manchester, England, Reay draws inspiration from iconic artists like Elvis Presley and Roy Orbison. His breakout moment came with a viral tribute to this golden era of music, captivating millions with his nostalgic yet refreshing sound. Written by Reay and Annielle Lisiuk and co-produced by Manchester duo SOAP (Josh Noble and Karl Ziegler), “Boy In Love” reinforces Reay’s dedication to reviving the spirit of early rock ‘n’ roll for a modern audience.
