Los Angeles-based crooner HANNI EL KHATIB is back, breathing a little sunshine into the pallid October days with the release of his latest song, Moonlight. Moonlight is the title track of his forthcoming record, which is set to be released on the 23rd of January, 2015 via Innovative Leisure – also home to ALLAH-LAS, NICK WATERHOUSE and a plethora of other solid acts.

KHATIB is a talented multi-instrumentalist, acting as singer, songwriter and producer for much of his music. Raised on the shores of San Francisco and drawing influence from rock and R&B of decades past, the result is a wonderfully charming blend of blues, pop, soul and garage. Despite its nocturnal suggestions, Moonlight is a radiant piece that guarantees to pull your shoulders into a summertime swing.

So, why not get a glimpse of next year’s sonic offering? Listen to Moonlight below.
