Some songs chase chart positions. Others simply belong to the most intimate chapters of our lives. Bay Area R&B artist Ellis B.’s latest single, Feels Better, started as a deeply personal gesture—a wedding gift for his best friend—but its warmth and sincerity quickly proved it deserved a life beyond the ceremony. What began as a slow-dance for two has become a tender, slow-burning ode to love’s ability to transform, uplift, and endure.
Drawing inspiration from his friend’s upcoming cruise-ship wedding, Ellis channels gratitude into every note. His voice slips effortlessly between velvety lows and airy highs, playing with texture in a way that feels both deliberate and organic. “I love playing with textures,” he says—and it’s more than just a stylistic choice. On Feels Better, that approach makes the track feel like a conversation between lovers under string lights, somewhere between reality and a dream.
The production, courtesy of Jay Mark and BarzMakesBangers, leans into nostalgia without ever sounding dated. Gentle instrumentation and warm tones cradle Ellis’ vocals, giving the song an intimate but expansive quality—a sonic embrace that works just as well for golden-hour drives as it does for a first dance. In a genre often obsessed with heartbreak, Feels Better is proof that joy can be just as compelling.
This release also marks a new chapter in Ellis’ upcoming album, Gemini Tales. Previous singles like Charge It To The Game and Ready Willing Able hinted at the project’s range, but Feels Better stands apart as its sunlit centerpiece. It’s a reminder that amidst experimentation and growth, Ellis still knows how to write a song that simply feels good.
Independent artistry hasn’t come without its hurdles, but Ellis meets them with an unwavering commitment to authenticity. From earlier projects (Gemini Mind, Gemini Love) to now, his catalog has been built with heart, not algorithms. His connection with fans is personal, nurtured through Instagram (@itsallgood510) and TikTok (@ellisb.10), where he offers glimpses into his process and life—proof that for him, music is more than content; it’s a shared language.
As Gemini Tales takes shape, Ellis keeps his message clear: gratitude. Gratitude for the fans, for the friends, and for the love stories that inspire him. With Feels Better, he invites listeners to not just hear the music but to feel it—to remember the moments when love wasn’t complicated, but pure.
Press play, close your eyes, and let Feels Better remind you: this is what love sounds like
