It seems Eleri Ward is growing up. Her newest single, “There You Go”, is a departure from her previous templates out on her acoustic Sondheim covers. This maturity came in the form of an album, which turned out to be her first of many releases under the label. This album marks a transition into a deeper understanding of sound and perspective amongst other themes which subsided in the previous album. The entire song can be pinned to a bipolar beat picked in the china shop, which is redefined as the “There You Go”. The song electrifies once the beat mingles with her voice to give off a synergy. Eleri managed to compose the whole production by herself exhibiting her sense of control over sound architecture. The track also features multiple textures from resonant piano chords and multi-synth bass touching every corner of the mix.
The irony, however, took the world by storm as the track swept listeners off their feet. Giant critics labeled it awesome and impressive, pointing out how beautifully the track wrote off a privilege, narrating a mixed strategy of sarcasm and a sense of surrender. Eleri fashioned the song in a manner that made everyone come out questioning the state of their ego in a tribute to the hidden integrity that society bound them. The song, in a way, does level unjust social expectations. One of the most interesting features of this single is its non-linear structure. The lyrics of the song progress as a stream of thought which perfectly depicts the new path Eleri is taking with her new music. This style for the track lends it an almost primal honesty that is different from most pop music.
“There You Go” doesn’t just serve as a way to capture Eleri Ward’s growth as an artist but also cements her place in contemporary pop music. It is also a track that is as stimulating as it is audibly beautiful. Now, with the release of her first album on the verge, this single raises the bar of anticipation for her upcoming songs. For those who enjoy music that is different from the standard but still feels very familiar, “There You Go” should be on your watch list.
