A New Retro-Pop Duet Inspired by 1970s Piano Classics and Soulful Storytelling.
SAN FRANCISCO - eMusicWire -- Some melodies are born in a moment; others are forged over a lifetime. Tomorrow morning, the long-awaited single "Touch My Soul" officially arrives on Spotify, marking the debut of a song that has lived in the heart of its creator, Darren Farris, for over four decades.
"Touch My Soul" is a vibrant, high-energy duet that serves as a love letter to the golden era of 1970s piano-pop. Drawing inspiration from the infectious chemistry of Elton John and Kiki Dee, the track features a driving "walking" bassline, triumphant horn arrangements, and a lyrical sincerity that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly new.
The story behind the track is as compelling as the music itself. While many artists rush to release the latest trend, Darren held onto the core melody of "Touch My Soul" for 40 years, waiting for the perfect moment and the right creative alignment to bring it to life.

"This song has been playing in the back of my mind since the 80s," says Darren. "It's about that naive, beautiful moment when two worlds collide and you realize someone has truly reached your core. Finally hearing it fully produced, with the energy it deserved, is like seeing a long-held dream finally wake up."
The Sound of "Touch My Soul":
"Touch My Soul" will be available for streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, and all major platforms starting tomorrow morning under Darren's band name Aketous.
