Eliza Shaddad’s highly-anticipated debut album ‘Future’ was released last Friday (26th October) on Beatnik Creative.
Recorded in the same studio in remote Devon where she worked on her Run & Waters EPs with Mercury-nominated longtime collaborator Chris Bond, Eliza Shaddad’s highly anticipated debut long player Future was two years in the making and is a deeply candid look into the unique songwriting mind of its creator.
It’s a private and personal work, as album singles ‘White Lines’, ‘This Is My Cue’, ‘Just Goes To Show‘ and ‘My Body’ attest to. Future is a sonic journal that fishes into the vast pools of her past and present to reveal a songwriting voice that’s unflinchingly honest, and fundamentally human in its everyday relatability.
Set on the bedrock of Eliza’s early folk and grunge influences, it revels in “flavours of trip-hop, West-Coast surf sounds, 80’s chorus, 90’s movie soundtracks, and all-out pop” while still managing to sound like a focused, devastatingly precise and cohesive body of work. Out only a couple of days, the record has already received wide critical acclaim from The Sunday Times, Rolling Stone, Bandcamp, Notion, Nylon, Refinery 29 and much more.
Future is a sound honed by a woman who has striven to reassert herself through multiple national identities, academic fields, and musical cultures. But Eliza confesses she is not the first woman in her family to have had such an experience. Coming from a family of matriarchal over-achievers, she is simply the daughter who has picked music as her path through life.
Key to the respect the industry shows for Eliza’s work is the fact that she manages to be both a serious grafter and a true fighter for that which she believes in. Future is a body of work she has fought tooth and nail to complete over the last two years to the highest quality, and for the past six years Shaddad has run events as part of female arts collective Girls Girls Girls which she co-founded with fellow musician Samantha Lindo, and which works to empower women within the arts through special cross-disciplinary events across the UK, and to raise awareness and funding for the anti-Female genital mutilation charity ‘Orchid Project’.
Eliza’s extraordinary fanfare couldn’t go to an artist more deserving.
Future is out now on Beatnik Creative.
