Jonas Blue & Eyelar, 100 Lives | Song Review 🎵

English DJ, songwriter, and producer Jonas Blue and Dutch singer/songwriter Eyelar make a formidable team on their exuberant single, “100 Lives.”

“Ooh, you and I / Oh, what a ride / I never thought we’d make it through / To the other side.” But we made it, didn’t we Eyelar (Eyelar Mirzazadeh)? The Dutch musician links up with English DJ, songwriter, and producer Jonas Blue (Guy James Robin) for “100 Lives”.  This three-and-a-quarter-minute joint was penned by Jonas, Eyelar, and Ollie Green. Blue produced.  The sounds are exuberant.  The background is bright and sunny, anchored by an electrifying beat. The drop is sickening – the expectation from Blue. This is the perfect inspiration for Eyelar’s vocals.

Like the accompaniment, Eyelar is enthusiastic. As evidenced in the first verse, her and her significant other have locked down love! “I’ll take the lows / You take the highs / Look at how we’re growing,” she sings in the second verse.  In the pre-chorus, she sings, “Dark were the days,” adding, “So far, but now we’re making our way back into the light.” Eylar rises to the occasion in the centerpiece, the chorus:

“I could touch the sky

Chase the night with you

Could live and die

A hundred lives with you…”

Easy on the ears and utterly optimistic, “100 Lives” is the perfect dance-pop song for summer and well beyond.  Jonas Blue and Eyelar make a formidable team!
