Stream here: https://MarkDVB.lnk.tt/LoveRunsOut An EDM/House track of true gravitas, ‘Love Runs Out’ drops on July 29 to radio and streaming platforms. The collab is a long-overdue project between two of SA’s freshest musical talents, namely Mark DVB or production and Elisha James on vocals, with joined penmanship from the two on lyrics. Apart from being relatable in message to just about everyone ever hurt in love, the track holds a melancholic melody with dark undertones, whilst nurturing a soulful, Nineties-inspired House beat. Elisha explores his full vocal range on the track, playing with deeper notes on the verses and elevating the emotion during choruses. Smart backing vocals add dimension and depth to this tune that feels built for singing along to on road trips as much as dancefloors. Markus Daniel van Biljon, better known as Mark DVB, was born and bred on music and has been shaped to the beats of Tiesto, Armin van Buuren and David Guetta. He found a passion for music as a young singer at about six years old and through his father was mentored to nurture his passions, until such time as he was not only an accomplished guitarist, but was also remixing tracks such as Aidan Caye – Reflections feat. Ziyon from Liquideep. As a teen he was finding himself playlisted on commercial radio and before long started finding himself invited to release tracks with heavyweights such as Lady Zamar and Dominic Neil. As a retained songwriter for high-end television show Binnelanders, he has made music his bread and butter in every sense of the word and tipped as one of the country’s fastest up-and-coming young producers. Elisha James is another fierce SA talent that was seen living out his passions on national TV as a strong contender on The Voice Season 3. As one of the favourites from team Riaan Nel, he showcased pop favourites with blues influences and saw the country fall in love with him instantly. Since then he has enjoyed festival bookings and entertaining whilst nurturing his talents. His collab with Mark shows him experimenting in an EDM space whilst still remaining soulful and true to his singing style in the process. The merge between these two artists is one that developed organically, producing an undeniable chemistry in the song-writing process, seeing their song writing credits matched in equal measure. ‘Love Runs Out’ is set for major release through Universal Music Group and welcomes the end of Winter 2022 with some heady nights predicted for the dancefloor.
