ELIZA is utterly fearless on stunning new offering "Alone & Unafraid"

11 May 2018, 09:45 | Written by Amelia Maher

On "Alone & Unfraid" the London-based artist brings together a nostalgic R&B sensibility with lyrics that shimmer with a statement of confident independence.

ELIZA is an artist who has gone from strength to strength. Back in December, she performed a COLORS show that has - at the time of writing - racked up nearly 4 million views. More recently she has supported the likes of Kamaal Williams at Village Underground and her upcoming London shows sold out in minutes. So, you may ask - what's all the hype about?

As soon as the beats and the spiralling, manipulated sample kicks in, it all begins to make sense. Yet, it's when ELIZA begins to sing that you really understand why she is catching people's attention. Her voice is full of soul and authority, dipping and diving across octaves as she defiantly makes her point.

The song ultimately holds an important message as ELIZA pertains "And I’m not in this life to be a wife / I make my own little religion", finding sanctuary in her own solitude and making it clear that she doesn't need anyone else to complete her in this life. "Alone & Unafraid" is a huge step forward for ELIZA and further highlights why she is a talent whose rapid journey to success will only accelerate. The secret is out now.

"Alone & Unafraid" is out now.
