True stories are felt through Eliza Hull’s resonant lyrics which are delivered by a voice described as ‘fragile, yet strong’, and like ‘her heart is breaking in one hand and mending in the other’ – Beat Magazine.
Eliza’s debut single, Five, encapsulates a childlike feel through simple electronic vocal beats and the opening lyric, “I started dreaming big when I was five, the world became my playground”. Eliza tells, “Five begins with a time in my childhood where everything changed. It looks back with bewilderment at how simple everything seemed at that age, even though life altering events were unfolding. Five felt right for an introduction to the album as it takes the listener back to the beginning”. Eliza’s vocals absorb listeners and balance the textured layers of electronic beats, synths, and organic strings to communicate the theme of conserving a star’s energy until the timing is just right, avoiding the pitfalls of getting burnt through temptation of the fast life.
With a vision to capture the sounds and experiences of her mind and translate them to the audio sphere, Five signals the emergence of Eliza’s solo career and her debut album, Hourglass, which includes collaboration with producers Jonathan Steer and Leigh Fisher (Gypsy and the Cat), along with performers OllieMcGill (Cat Empire), Mark Pearl (Texture Like Sun), Cayn Borthwick (Sans Gras), Ainslie Wills and Nat Bartsch. Harnessing inspiration as it emerged; home studios, garages, and churches have been used to produce an eclectic sound, full of string and horn arrangements, and accented by the feel of nineties electronica. The album was produced over several years and was born out of dedication, being completely self-funded.
Through years of involvement in the Melbourne music scene with the band Describe Eliza, national touring, radio support and a strong live following, Eliza is now a valued and respected performer. Supported by a nine-piece band for her upcoming launches, the intensity, emotion, and lyrical story-telling of Eliza’s music will undoubtedly be performed in the manner most befitting – as powerful as her heart.
