Precious Pepala is making a truly impressive debut with her first release, "My Eyes Only," a song that gives listeners an honest look at Gen Z's issues with insecurity, heartbreak, and feeling the need to hide vulnerable parts of ourselves from those we love. This awe-inspiring track from the 17-year-old U.K.-based artist will captivate you with its stunningly haunting vocals and heartfelt songwriting, leaving you wanting more from this impressive emerging talent. 

"My Eyes Only" opens on a simple guitar and piano melody, with Pepala’s voice eerily echoing until she breaks through. "Once in a blue moon / I let my guard down for someone like you / Too many times I’ve been left with scars / now it’s harder to let you through," she sings, revealing how the walls she's constructed to prevent further heartbreak—a sentiment that is deeply personal yet universal in scope. Pepala is able to verbalize these complex and heartbreaking feelings with such clarity and veracity while also expressing a truly emotional performance through her swelling, harmonic vocals, and consuming production. Speaking about the track, the UK artist shares, “‘My Eyes Only' is a song about guarding your emotions and not wanting other people to see you vulnerable, especially in romantic relationships. The lyrics are a true and honest confession about how the way I want to be perceived sometimes contrasts with how I really am."

While learning through her own experiences with love, Pepala is sharing honest confessions with her audience buoyed by compelling writing and stop-you-dead-in-you-tracks vocal feats. Being only the first release from this enviable talent, we cannot wait to see what the future holds for Precious Pepala.
