Purple Ferdinand graces us with her new release, The Love Bound EP. The lead single “Loving The Hate” is smooth soulful pop at its finest as Ferdinand’s voice commands the instrumentation. The other 3 tracks are just as good. Overall, the EP is a short journey into Ferdinand’s world of melancholy, heartbreak and soul.

“I feel like the album is going to both explain and define me,” the 26-year-old explained. Inspired by the likes of Eva Cassidy, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash and Stevie Wonder, Purple has the ability to move you like no other.

The Love Bound is a stunning mix of folk, soul, pop and R&B in which Ferdinand bares her soul. Listen below.
