Hopelessly Devoted / Eternal Love by Kristo

Following the success of his infectious blue-eyed soul track Spinning Around, Belgian artist Kristo returns with new singles Hopelessly Devoted and Eternal Love.

"Eternal Love", an ’80s-inspired power ballad, features slow-burning piano chords, punchy Linn-style drums, and a soaring, emotional vocal. Co-written with Steven Vergauwen, recorded and produced by Boris Van Overschee, and performed entirely by Kristo himself, the track perfectly blends the grandeur of classic pop ballads with sleek, modern production. "Eternal Love" is a must-listen for fans of vintage Minneapolis funk, larger-than-life choruses, and nostalgic slow dances under neon lights.

“Hopelessly Devoted” is a track that unfolds as a silky, groove-led R&B cut, with a laid-back rhythm locking into warm horn accents and an intimate yet infectious vocal hook. Blending classic songwriting with a modern soul aesthetic, Kristo continues to refine a sound rooted in musicality and artistic integrity.

As a true artist and multi-instrumentalist in every sense, Kristo writes, plays, and co-produces his own music, drawing from a wide palette of influences, including vintage R&B, funk, soul, jazz, and classic pop. His work reflects a strong focus on craftsmanship and depth, balanced with a contemporary edge. “Hopelessly Devoted” further expands the sonic world of Kristo’s forthcoming debut album, due in December 2026. Shaped by a deeply musical upbringing - his father a tenor saxophonist and his mother a marimba teacher - his artistry is grounded in a lifelong dedication to music.

Influenced by artists such as Prince, David Bowie, and D’Angelo, Kristo has developed a distinct voice and sound of his own. This has already translated into notable live experience, including performances at Gent Jazz Festival and North Sea Jazz (Talent Stage), as well as support slots for artists such as Macy Gray and Theo Croker. With two more singles planned ahead of his debut album, Kristo continues to build momentum as a rising artist in today’s contemporary Soul, Funk, and R&B landscape, with a clear crossover appeal and growing international potential.
