Australian-born and Los Angeles-based artist, Portair, teams up with fellow Angelino singer-songwriter Emily James on their intimate new single, “Life We’ve Built (featuring Emily James).” The achingly beautiful track is a hushed love letter from one partner to another.  The song is the latest release from his upcoming EP, Learning How To Die, out February 24, 2023.

When asked about the track Portair explained, “This is a complete celebration of love in its most powerful moments. It’s about being so happy with a person and the life you’ve built together. It could all come apart at some point but for the present moment it means everything to you.”
