Endaf and Ruby Ann Jones Craft a Neo-Soul Keepsake with “To You, From Me”
Endaf has released her song “To You, From Me,” a candlelit postcard in Neo-Soul ink and addressed to the one. A collaboration with North Wales vocalist Ruby Ann Jones, the track drapes mellow, moody guitar riffs over soulful piano voicings and laid-back drumwork, letting a sultry, cozy vocal settle like dusk across a room. Indeed, the design is elegant and deliberate. The tempo strolls, not sprints; the drums are brushed and unhurried; the bass warms without swallowing the space. Moreover, the mic sits close, catching small confessions and the breath between them, while reverb blooms in restrained halos. Harmonic turns feel conversational—minor hues yielding to tender resolutions—so the arrangement reads like an honest note folded twice and slipped under a door.
Indeed, the lyric spirit concerns finding the one, but it refuses melodrama. Instead you get specifics: glances that linger, promises phrased softly, the kind of patience that outlasts weather. The piano acts as a heartbeat; the riffs sketch margins; the backbeat behaves like a pulse you can lean on. In fact, the mix’s negative space becomes its secret engine, granting every phrase a little afterglow. The vibe feels like central heating in a stone cottage, or streetlights glimmering on rain-sheened roads—tranquil, slow-paced, privately luminous. As a spinoff vignette of Endaf’s sensibility, “To You, From Me” is less a performance than a keepsake: a downtempo letter pressed with fingerprints, inviting the listener to exhale, recline, and believe that arrival can be gentle.
