"Velvet Halo," the enchanting debut EP by the collaborative duo Justina Shandler (Vocalist, Songwriter) and David Thiele (Producer, Songwriter), is a mesmerizing journey through melodic, piano-driven landscapes. Embarking on a poignant exploration of life's transitions and yearnings for lost youth, the self-titled EP encapsulates the essence of heartfelt vulnerability.

The lead single, "Fool Again," takes us deep into nostalgia for a simpler time, with Justina's evocative lyrics weaving a tapestry of sentimentality and longing. The EP's diverse sonic palette is illuminated in the soulful duet "Warm Night," adorned with jazzy piano melodies and intertwining vocals. "Words Fail" enchants with waltzing piano and mournful vocals, juxtaposing a fairytale ambiance with the bittersweetness of walking away from a relationship. "Nothing Left" delves into the depths of depression, intertwining melancholy and hope in a Coldplay-esque crescendo, while the finale, "Find Me" infuses lo-fi charm and upbeat rhythms, evoking the light bubbly bliss of being in one's happy place.

For those who are looking for a velvety place to reflect and dream, Velvet Halo’s sultry songs are a dazzling comfort.
