Simon Pursehouse (pictured) from publisher Sentric Music said: “Ever since first hearing Sunshine Eyes I knew it had bucketloads of sync potential and when the brief came through that
Boohoo.com were looking for a track to advertise their summer range it seemed to fit perfectly. “The transition in the advert between the day
and night scenes and the track switching from the original to the Skies remix makes the ad flow brilliantly and really helps give the it more depth. “It’s great coverage for one of my favourite artists we work with here at Sentric and will hopefully give them some great exposure ready for their debut LP which is set for release later on in the year. “Huge credit to the guys at Ricall as well who we've had a long and fruitful relationship with so far and are genuinely some of the best in the industry at music licensing.”
