Torn Between Love and Betrayal
Song Release date: 08/08/25
Genre: Indie Jazz Pop / British Soul
Have It All (released on 8th August 2025) tells the story of a forbidden love and the cost of being selfish in your choices, explains Dorset based singer songwriter Eva Gadd.
‘I don’t want her heart to break, I don’t want to let this go sour for us all’ are the words flowing over Eva’s signature piano keys, while a backdrop of guitar, bass, drums and cello build to bring a light and upbeat mood to this jazz inspired song. The track knits together light and dark though; there’s the playful ‘dare you’ excitement of a new relationship, tempered by whistful uncertainty debating the guilt of betrayal.
From Eva’s solitary piano chords in the intro, the vocal describes a romantic dilemma punctuated by subtle bass and guitar. Then, masterfully arranged by London based producer, Tom Alford, the full backing kicks in adding waves of sound while Eva’s voice intricately conveys the elements of indie jazz and soul she is becoming known for. Bass, drums and the featured cello provide a perfect foil to Eva’s trademark harmonies and the rhythmic strings lend the track yet more tempo, effortlessly adjusting to changes of pace as the thorny question is debated to and fro…. “what made you think we can just have it all?”
Have It All is the 2nd single from Eva Gadd’s upcoming EP set to be released later in 2025.
The British soul songstress who owes her inspiration to the likes of Tom Odell, Olivia Dean and Adele has recently moved to Dorset and is excited about drawing inspiration from the coastline and surrounds for her future projects
Have it All was released on all major music streaming channels on Friday 8th August 2025.

LYRICS
Have it All
Something’s obviously not right
You can’t stop looking at me, me too
Maybe we should stop
You’re all caught up in her
Dont want this eye contact to break
Whisper things you shouldn’t say
All this time we make sure no one knows
And I’m on edge cos’
I don’t want her heart to break
I don’t wanna let this go sour for us all
I hate that I don’t hate you saying all these things
What makes you think that we can just have it
Have it all
We’ve been lying way too much
Think I’ve been dreaming all too much
Wondering how this even works
Or if it’ll drive a wedge between us
But something’s happening with me though
I don’t wanna just let it go
Maybe you carry potential, potential
I don’t want her heart to break
I don’t wanna let this go sour for us all
I hate that I don’t hate you saying all these things
What makes you think that we can just have it
Have it all
It’s not something I’m expecting sympathy from
It’s just I haven’t been in this position for so long
Don’t wanna wrap it up or call it off
Even if there’s so much tension between us
I don’t think that it’s reason enough
Cos’ I don’t want her heart to break
What makes you think that we can just have it
Have it all
I don’t want her heart to break
I don’t wanna let this go sour for us all
I hate that I don’t hate you saying all these things
What makes you think that we can just have it
Have it all
I don’t want her heart to break
I don’t wanna let this go sour for us all
I hate that I don’t hate you saying all these things
What makes you think that we can just have it
Have it all
