A memorable single out at present from NYC-based artist Eleri Ward, “Float” melds a dreamy pop attract inside themes of vulnerability — particularly, surrendering oneself and trusting in one other. “What if I simply really feel into the pool?” Ward’s melodic vocals set free amidst lush piano twinkling. Lyrical depictions of falling into the water, unguarded, parallels with taking the plunge right into a relationship. A title-touting vocal quivering continues the captivation as soothing backing vocals and melodic guitars enter; the plush, attractive structural ascent reminds fondly of Kate Bush.
The 2-minute flip is one other lovely second, that includes a heightened vocal pitch and wonderful piano development. Layers of beckoning vocals converge with this ghostly backing, arriving once more into the “what if I simply fell into the pool…” hook; this part, specifically, is enjoyably paying homage to the duo Tennis. The gripping “Float” has us totally anticipating Ward’s upcoming album.
